Bug Description
[Impact] including [Test Case]
The Ask Ubuntu question <http://
adduser $USER somegroup
But if you try that in 16.04, the guest session won't launch. The explanation is that after the reorganization of the guest session code in 16.04, prefs.sh is sourced by /usr/share/
The linked merge proposals restore the previous behavior by letting prefs.sh be sourced by /usr/sbin/
[Regression Potential]
Low.

---------------
lightdm (1.19.1-0ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium
* New upstream release: lightdm. dirs: lightdm. conf.d and etc/guest- session exist HOST_SOCKET instead of MIR_SOCKET to report compositor backend= mir guest-account. sh: guest-session- setup.sh:
* debian/
- Rename "xlocal" seat type to "local". Using "xlocal" will continue to work
but report a warning.
- Ensure user configuration directories /etc/lightdm/
/
- Use MIR_SERVER_
socket to sessions. This used to work but no longer works in Mir 0.21
(LP: #1583624)
- Allow XMir to run on the xlocal seat using the new x-server-
option
- Use only a single compositor on local seats (LP: #1594229)
- Fix Mir greeter log filename having "(null)" in the name (LP: #1590582)
- Copy fcitx/mozc rules so session works when these aren't installed
(LP #1581187)
- Revert lxsession change - it caused the AppArmor to fail to compile
* debian/rules:
- Revert dh_installinit change - we don't want to start LightDM on install
(LP: #1581106)
* debian/
* debian/
- Source prefs.sh as privileged user to allow user modification
(LP: #1581853)
