The following will send a signal requesting that the current session be locked and then will initiate a switch to LightDM's greeter, allowing a new user to log in to the system.įirst, install xorg-server-xephyr from the official repositories. LightDM's dm-tool command can be used to allow multiple users to be logged in on separate ttys. Use light-locker or something from List of applications/Security#Screen lockers. Warning: The use of lightDM's built-in screen lockers like dm-tool lock or dm-tool switch-to-greeter are not recommended. To see a list of available commands, execute: LightDM offers a command line tool, dm-tool, which can be used to lock the current seat, switch sessions, etc, which is useful with 'minimalist' window managers and for testing. Make sure to enable rvice so LightDM will be started at boot see also Display manager#Loading the display manager. In this example, the lightdm-gtk-greeter and lightdm-webkit2-greeter greeters are available: desktop file represents an available greeter. One way to check which greeters are available is to list the files in the /usr/share/xgreeters directory each. Greeter-session=lightdm- yourgreeter-greeter You can set the default greeter by changing the section of the LightDM configuration file, like so: lightdm-elephant-greeter-git AUR: A small and simple greeter that runs in the cage Wayland compositor per default.lightdm-webkit-theme-aether AUR: A sleek, straightforward Archlinux themed login screen written on lightdm and the lightdm-webkit2-greeter.lightdm-mini-greeter AUR: A minimal, configurable, single-user greeter.lightdm-unity-greeter AUR: The greeter used by Unity.Other alternative greeters are available in the AUR: lightdm-webkit-theme-litarvan: A modern and full-featured Webkit2 LightDM theme.It supersedes lightdm-webkit-greeter AUR. lightdm-webkit2-greeter: A greeter that uses Webkit2 for theming.lightdm-slick-greeter: A GTK based greeter focused more on appearance than lightdm-gtk-greeter, forked from lightdm-unity-greeter AUR, and default in Linux Mint.lightdm-pantheon-greeter: A greeter from the elementary OS project.lightdm-deepin-greeter ( deepin-session-shell): A greeter from the Deepin project.lightdm-gtk-greeter: This is the default greeter LightDM attempts to use, unless configured otherwise.
The official repositories contain the following greeters: It is possible to use LightDM without a greeter, but only if an automatic login is configured otherwise you will need to install xorg-server and one of the greeter packages below. A greeter is a GUI that prompts the user for credentials, lets the user select a session, and so on. You will probably want to install a greeter. These development releases are available with lightdm-devel AUR. Tip: Stable releases are even-numbered (1.8, 1.10) while development releases are odd-numbered (1.9, 1.11). 6.15 Login always segfaults on first attempt.6.14 Wayland session not working with duplicate GNOME entries in greeter.6.13 Boot hangs on " Reached target Graphical Interface.".6.12 Long pause before LightDM shows up when home is encrypted.6.11 Pulseaudio not starting automatically.6.10 LightDM is running with low FPS on Intel Graphics.6.9 LightDM does not appear or monitor only displays TTY output.6.8 LightDM displaying in wrong monitor.6.5 Unresponsive for a few minutes after startup.6.3 LightDM not starting and screen flashing.5.15 Lock the screen using light-locker.5.13 Adjusting the login window's position.5.6 Enabling interactive passwordless login.5.4 Sources of Arch-centric 64圆4 icons.5.1.3 Multiple keyboard layouts in lightdm-gtk-greeter.And, good luck with the battle of the LightDM Greeters. If you figure anything out, please share. I found that this was easier than trying to experiment/break/repair one unified theme. What I did was create a separate GTK theme from what I use on my desktop, and set it as my LightDM theme. Sorry, it's a photo from my phone of the screen, so image quality is poor. So, in the countless hours I spent working on a LightDM GTK Greeter theme, I never got it where I wanted it and eventually gave up. All in all, it is a very shot-in-the-dark, balancing act of modifying the CSS and conf files. On top of that, the various "upgrades" and version changes make tricks that used to work not work anymore. It's possible, but the migraines involved make it hard to justify as "worthwhile."Īnyway, if you want to take a shot at it, there is not much in the way of useful documentation. LightDM GTK Greeter is a nightmare to theme/modify.
