[Bug 1553592] Re: 16.04 casper 15_autologin file contains obsolete lightdm configuration

[Robert Ancell]

While this configuration is old, it will continue to work. However, if
this file is changed then accountsservice should also be updated to look
in the new location.

I did look at this a while ago and decided it was too much to fix (and
I'm not confident enough in this area) when I changed the configuration
file conventions. It should be updated however.

It should be fixed at some point though.

Title:
  16.04 casper 15_autologin file contains obsolete lightdm configuration

Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin

  the lightdm section of the file contains a lightdm configuration that
  is incorrect for 15.10 and later

  for example it writes out /root/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

  according to the lightdm wiki this should be
  /root/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/xyz.conf

  Additionally using [SeatDefaults] is wrong.  Again according the wiki
  [SeatDefaults] is obsolete and should be [Seat:*]

  Think this is probably why manual live CD creators and those who use
  Pinguy ISO Builder cannot create a lightdm autologin live CD
