/usr/sbin/lightdm-gtk-greeter: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libido3-0.1.so.0: undefined symbol: ubuntu_menu_item_factory_get_type

I've been unable so far to find the library containing the symbol.

Thanks.

Can you provide more info (dist, greeter version)? It looks like the result of failed update, or using some modified packages.

  • Has a lightweight codebase
  • Is standards compliant (PAM, ConsoleKit, etc)
  • Has a well defined interface between the server and user interface

Malfunction started indeed after an update, but I tried to reinstall all packages related to lightdm and lightdm-gtk-greeter without success.
