Hi,
from the logs it appears, that this problem started at Jun 05 00:00:06, but I haven't noticed it because apart from the fail messages in logs, it has no apparent consequences.
Here are relevant terminal outputs.
sudo systemctl status shadow.service

I really have no idea what this error means nor how to fix it.
Thanks for any help.

Why Linux? Because it doesn't hide anything from you. It puts you so closely in control of your machine that you can feel its heartbeat.

I'll make a wild guess and say that the user `lightdm` has `/var/lib/lightdm` as its home directory, but that directory does not exist.
What is the content of /etc/passwd?
Also, how was lightdm installed?
[EDIT]
Ah, too late.

Thanks. I removed the lightdm user and that solved the problem.
