Comment 2 for bug 1892634

I confirm that it is still the described behaviour.

$ journalctl -b -p4 --no-pager -u lightdm
Nov 01 07:32:04 host lightdm[876]: Seat type 'xlocal' is deprecated, use 'type=local' instead

$ lightdm --show-config
   [Seat:*]
…
I type=xlocal
…
Sources:type=xlocal
…
I /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-nvidia.conf
…
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-nvidia.conf
nvidia-prime: /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-nvidia.conf

I changed my conf and have no other experience than the is journal a little bit cleaner. It would be welcome if you could correct the file in the package; sth. like:

sed -i 's/type=xlocal/type=local' /path/to/source/90-nvidia.conf
