I have no such directory on my system ~$ ls /var/lib/|grep lightdm ~$ and everything work as expected. Are you sure this is your problem? After all, this is just a warning according to the log... Does lightdm work if you create that directory yourself?

The directory is not required for lightdm to work, but if present, lightdm does store stuff there. The bug is about the warning, lightdm does expect that directory to be available and writable. My failure was nouveau still loading even though it was blacklisted via /etc/modprobe.d/. Removing nouveau (and then using nvidia binary drivers) allowed X to start. ok i added a simple dodir /var/lib/lightdm-data to the 1.12.1 ebuild. Thanks |
