Failed to find session configuration web-greeter #121

Closed bryansoftdev closed 7 years ago

bryansoftdev commented 7 years ago

Hi, I receive the error "Failed to find session configuration web-greeter" in my lightdm.log file whenever the lightdm service is started.

[+0.00s] DEBUG: Seat seat0: Failed to find session configuration web-greeter
[+0.00s] DEBUG: Seat seat0: Failed to create greeter session
[+0.00s] DEBUG: Failed to start seat: seat0

Here's my lightdm.conf file, not sure if I did something wrong here?

Is the greeter-session supposed to be called something else?

lightdm.txt

Let me know what other info could help!

Hi, did you install the latest stable version or did you install the 3.0 beta version? The greeter-session key in lightdm.conf should be set as follows:

I installed 3.0.0beta4. I reverted back to version 2.2.3 (and changed the key back to lightdm-webkit2-greeter), and that works fine. Not sure why the beta isn't working.

Hmm..I'd need to see the greeter log to see if there are any clues as to what the problem is. You can find the log here: /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log

Here is everything in that log

libva info: VA-API version 0.39.4
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_39
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

*Edit- I noticed that that log does not get modified whenever I try to start the lightdm service. The log above is from when I ran the old webkit2 version.

Here is the full lightdm log just in case it might help

Hi, I got the same error.

I looked into /usr/share/xgreeters. The filename wasn't web-greeter.desktop but com.antergos.web-greeter.desktop.

So I set greeter-session to com.antergos.web-greeter, and that works fine.

Hmm..that shouldn't be necessary. The name is inside of the file. It works properly on my system :thinking: I'll look into it.
