Bug Description

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:*] ?

How did you upgrade? Using update-manager?

"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

Changed in lightdm (Ubuntu):
importance:	Undecided → High
status:	New → Invalid

Upgraded with livecd.

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