Description Kirill Elagin 2013-10-20 16:01:17 UTC
After starting user session greeter leaves a bunch of processes: gam_server and something related to dbus (sometimes). This results in a root session hanging permanently in `closing` state.

~~~~~
kirrun@kirNote ~ [1034]% loginctl  
   SESSION        UID USER             SEAT            
         1       1000 kirrun           seat0           
        c6          0 root             seat0           
        c7       1000 kirrun           seat0           

3 sessions listed.
kirrun@kirNote ~ [1035]% loginctl session-status c6

Just checked with lightdm-gtk-greeter and everything is fine.

Reproducible: Always

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

We no longer use lightDM, having moved to SDDM several years ago. As such, this bug report is no longer applicable. Bugs reports for the new SDDM-based login screen should be filed to one of two places:

1. Visual/UI bugs with the login screen UI itself, or feature requests: plasmashell | Theme - Breeze
2. Bugs with the login/user switching process: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues
