No such file. ls -l of that dir:
root@picnc:/var/log/lightdm# ls -l
total 900
-rw------- 1 root root 3686 Aug 1 13:37 lightdm.log
-rw------- 1 root root 12377 Aug 1 13:36 lightdm.log.old
-rw------- 1 root root 407863 Aug 3 05:05 seat0-greeter.log
-rw------- 1 root root 472719 Aug 1 13:36 seat0-greeter.log.old
-rw------- 1 root root 889 Aug 1 13:36 x-0.log
-rw------- 1 root root 948 Aug 1 13:36 x-0.log.old
But seat0-greeter.log(s) are all this:
** Message: 13:37:04.194: Starting lightdm-gtk-greeter 2.0.6 (Dec 27

With this last line repeating at 1 minute intervals, almost half a meg of
them. From then until now. Confirmed by a tail -f.
This looks like something that might be fixable, but I don't grok this
process enough to do more than report.
