Bug Description
Binary package hint: lightdm
Hi,
Could you register lightdm.conf in the alternatives system? This would let derivatives set another default config easily (as done with gdm), and avoid the dpkg-divert nightmare that is going with gdm3.
(currently, daily builds of xubuntu don't start any session because lightdm tries to start gnome which doesn't exist...)
Thanks.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
This is preventing Xubuntu from having a live desktop session, and all installs must be run using "Install Xubuntu" from the cd menu. If the menu is missed, the user gets a black screen with no prompts or cursor, and must reboot to restart the cd.
Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
