Vivid to wily upgrade fails for autologin

[Kev Bowring]

Installed vivid - with autologin.

Completely updated vivid then upgraded to wily with image.

System fails to autologin following upgrade to wily.

Vivid lightdm.conf:

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=test
autologin-user-timeout=0
autologin-session=lightdm-autologin

Wily lightdm.conf

[Seat:*]

Xubuntu specific lightdm files in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d appear to have upgraded correctly changing [SeatDefaults] to [Seat:*]

To confirm - after upgrading the contents of lightdm.conf were removed and replaced with just [Seat:*] ?

[Kev Bowring (flocculant)]

Yes.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

How did you upgrade? Using update-manager?

[Kev Bowring (flocculant)]

image upgrade - as noted above :)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

"image upgrade" was not very descriptive to me, sorry. Talked on IRC and that update was done using the livecd/ubiquity, so it's likely that it's the same user-setup bug that got fixed yesterday. Closing as invalid for lightdm and assuming it's fixed with the most recent update, please reopen if that's not the case though

[Kev Bowring (flocculant)]

Upgraded with livecd.

Just redid this with the new livecd (ubiquity/user-setup changes) and autologin now works as expected.
