[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#748917: Bug#748917: lightdm: fails to register a logind session

[John Talbut]

I seem to have found out the cause of this which is to do with the 
migration to the systemd init system.  I had updated all the packages to 
the latest versions in Jessie and everything seemed to be working apart 
from no logind session being registered.  However, I compile my own 
kernels and the kernel I was using was not set up for systemd init to 
function fully.  I recompiled a kernel in accordance with the systemd 
readme file and now everything is working, so the bug can be closed.

Thank you both for your help.

Regards

John
