greeter: requires restarting cosmic-greeter-daemon to login #126

Description

@colemickens

Hi,

These days, every time I start my Cosmic specialisation, I get a blank gray screen with a working cursor. This implies that cosmic-comp came up, but greeter failed to start up enough to even paint a (fallback) wallpaper.

If I switch to tty2, restart cosmic-greeter-daemon, switch back to tty1, the greeter loads and I can login.

I'm reporting this here, it may be one of these, or a combo. It seems others aren't easily reproing, maybe others will chime in with more thoughts/data:

  1. We don't properly configure the greeter services to match upstream.
  2. Something is wrong with how upstream prescribes running the greeter services.
  3. There's simply a bug in greeter/greeter-daemon and I'm just getting unlucky?

Certainly feels like a race or mis-sequencing somewhere.

(I did spot check upstream, this module, etc. Nothing... seems wrong?)
