Description Takashi Iwai 2015-07-28 11:58:20 UTC
oS Leap lightdm doesn't show the greeter.  This turned out to be a problem of update-alternative, the default greeter isn't properly symlinked to the target, and resulted in an empty file and lightdm aborts due to the missing config.

The latest lightdm-{gtk|kde}-greeter packages have some adjustment of the way to use update-alternative, and this doesn't seem working on SLE12-based system.

Reverting the changes fixes the problem.

It's been already fixed in lightdm-*-greeter packages.  I forgot to close this bug, sorry.
