Fixing availability of desktop session type selection #105

Open elfring opened 2 years ago

elfring commented 2 years ago

I switched my login interface from the GNOME Display Manager (version 40.1-1.fc34) to the LightDM GTK+ Greeter (version 2.0.8-1.fc34). Now I am missing the widget for the selection of a desktop session alternative (as it is specified by the setting “indicators” in the file “/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf”). How should it be reactivated? :thinking:

Is it wholly missing, or is it there but blank? Using 2.0.8 too, this is what I see: lightdm-session-chooser-bug

I have no clue why it occurs, ~the debug logs don't seem to suggest anything wrong~; actually, perhaps this is related (in /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log:

This thread suggests the problem may be a memory allocation failure? https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/lightdm-doesnt-start-automatically-on-boot.73951/. That's odd to me, but the log output are very similar.
