[Bug 1342586] Re: [utopic] [proposed] cgmanager breaks lightdm login

[James Hunt]

Note: systemd packaging branch is out-of-date.

Attached patch stops a NULL deref which would explain this issue.

** Patch added: "Don't nih_unref NULL value."

Title:
  [utopic] [proposed] cgmanager breaks lightdm login

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “systemd-shim” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The latest 'proposed' systemd-shim 6.3-ubuntu1 package install cgmanager. As a result X is first killed and then its impossible to login again.
  This happen on Utopic i386 with unity-greeter, systemd-boot and a gtx 750 nvidia card.

  The bad experience:
  - trying to purge cgmanager also wants to remove a bunch of packages that will deeply break the system
  - X can be started but the login always fail
  - there is no way to open a terminal (ctrl+t) or (ctrl+alt+t) from X
  - even cant get a command line
