Package: lightdm
Version: 1.10.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #749243
I had the same problem, so I simply created the directory, with the
same ownership and permissions as /var/lib/lightdm. Now I don't get
the warning anymore, and the following directory structure is there
while I am logged in:
root at lenovo:~# ls -lRa /var/lib/lightdm-data*
/var/lib/lightdm-data:
total 16
drwxr-x--- 4 lightdm lightdm 4096 Oct 7 2014 .
drwxr-xr-x 63 root root 4096 Oct 7 07:53 ..
drwxrwx--- 2 lightdm lightdm 4096 Oct 7 2014 lightdm
drwxrwx--- 2 tmac lightdm 4096 Oct 7 2014 tmac
/var/lib/lightdm-data/lightdm:
total 8
drwxrwx--- 2 lightdm lightdm 4096 Oct 7 2014 .
drwxr-x--- 4 lightdm lightdm 4096 Oct 7 2014 ..
/var/lib/lightdm-data/tmac:
total 8
drwxrwx--- 2 tmac lightdm 4096 Oct 7 2014 .
drwxr-x--- 4 lightdm lightdm 4096 Oct 7 2014 ..
It has created empty directories "lightdm" and "tmac" (my user name)
within /var/lib/lightdm-data
Best regards
