LightDM failsafe handler service #337

Open wallentx opened 6 months ago

wallentx commented 6 months ago

I recently made a contribution to a project that would provide a failsafe handler to LightDM, where if Xorg failed to start, it would put the user in TTY2 to attempt to remedy the issue (as opposed to just leaving the user faced with a blacked out screen while the LightDM service tries, and fails to restart repeatedly). https://github.com/LukeShortCloud/winesapOS/commit/5d9b78c312ffe6073e7e3e9ad737f7252defacc0

I wondered if something like this would be beneficial upstream. I'm happy to put together a PR if the idea seems within the scope of LightDM's realm of responsibility.
