It stopped working. I have the same problem described here:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395327
It hangs with this from /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log:
DEBUG: Waiting for ready signal from X server :0
It does this on 2 of my systems but succeeds on the other. The next
lines on the successful system are:
DEBUG: Acquired bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager
DEBUG: Registering seat with bus path /org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
The fix described in the bug is to add dbus to use in /etc/init.d/xdm
but dbus is already in there. dbus is currently started on all 3
systems. Any ideas?
