Hi Stef, Thanks for your email. Discussions are best on the mailing list (lightdm at lists.freedesktop.org), so I've cc'd it here. Yes, there are a number of greeters, you can also try the GTK+ greeter [1]. Also have a look at /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log to see what the greeter logged. Let us know how you go, --Robert [1] https://launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter On 22 March 2012 23:58, Stef Bon <stefbon at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi, > > I'm writing you directly, if there is a better way to discuss this > issue let me know. > > I'm trying out lightdm, but failed. > > I've in default.desktop: > > [Desktop Entry] > Name=Test Qt Greeter > Comment=LightDM test Qt greeter > Exec=/usr/libexec/lightdm/test-qt-greeter > > But when starting I do not see anything. > > Log lightdm.log: > > [+0.00s] DEBUG: Logging to /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log > [+0.00s] DEBUG: Starting Light Display Manager 1.1.3, UID=0 PID=819 > [+0.00s] DEBUG: Loaded configuration from /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf > [+0.00s] DEBUG: Using D-Bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager > [+0.00s] DEBUG: Registered seat module xlocal > [+0.00s] DEBUG: Registered seat module xremote > [+0.00s] DEBUG: Adding default seat > [+0.00s] DEBUG: Starting seat > [+0.00s] DEBUG: Starting new display for greeter > [+0.00s] DEBUG: Starting local X display > [+0.01s] DEBUG: Using VT 7 > [+0.01s] DEBUG: Activating VT 7 > [+0.01s] DEBUG: Logging to /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log > [+0.01s] DEBUG: Writing X server authority to /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 > [+0.01s] DEBUG: Launching X Server > [+0.01s] DEBUG: Launching process 850: /usr/X11/bin/X :0 -auth > /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 vt7 -novtswitch > [+0.01s] DEBUG: Waiting for ready signal from X server :0 > [+0.01s] DEBUG: Acquired bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager > [+0.01s] DEBUG: Registering seat with bus path > /org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0 > [+0.94s] DEBUG: Got signal 10 from process 850 > [+0.94s] DEBUG: Got signal from X server :0 > [+0.94s] DEBUG: Connecting to XServer :0 > [+0.94s] DEBUG: Starting greeter session > [+1.01s] DEBUG: pam_start("lightdm", "lightdm") -> (0x8c66308, 0) > [+1.01s] DEBUG: Starting session default as user lightdm > [+1.01s] DEBUG: Logging to /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log > [+1.01s] DEBUG: Launching session > [+1.01s] DEBUG: pam_set_item(0x8c66308, 3, ":0") -> 0 (Success) > [+1.01s] DEBUG: pam_open_session(0x8c66308, 0) -> 0 (Success) > [+1.02s] WARNING: Unable to get connection to ConsoleKit: Error > calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit: > GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.LoadFailed: Unit > console-kit-daemon.service failed to load: No such file or directory. > See system logs and 'systemctl status console-kit-daemon.service' for > details. > [+1.02s] CRITICAL: g_dbus_proxy_get_name_owner: assertion > `G_IS_DBUS_PROXY (proxy)' failed > [+1.02s] DEBUG: org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit does not exist, not > registering with ConsoleKit > [+1.02s] CRITICAL: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed > [+1.02s] DEBUG: Dropping privileges to uid 1003 > [+1.02s] DEBUG: Adding session authority to /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority > [+1.02s] DEBUG: Restoring privileges > [+1.02s] DEBUG: Launching process 943: /usr/libexec/lightdm/test-qt-greeter > [+1.02s] DEBUG: pam_setcred(0x8c66308, PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED) -> 0 (Success) > [+1.02s] DEBUG: PAM returns environment '' > [+1.08s] DEBUG: Read 8 bytes from greeter > [+1.08s] DEBUG: Read 9 bytes from greeter > [+1.08s] DEBUG: Greeter connected version=1.1.3 > [+1.08s] DEBUG: Wrote 100 bytes to greeter > [+1.08s] DEBUG: Greeter connected, display is ready > [+1.08s] DEBUG: New display ready, switching to it > [+1.08s] DEBUG: Activating VT 7 > > > So it looks ok, but no screen.
