similar to: [Fwd: Re: How Auto Start Greeter on Ctrl-Alt-F8?]

Ctrl-Alt-F7 automatically starts with a gdm greeter. I would like Ctrl-Alt-F8 to be the same, but I cannot figure it out. Would you offer some tips? The purpose is to allow others to simply switch over and log into a machine without bothering the current X session and/or leaving me logged in the F8 so X is running and waiting for me. -- Sincerely, John Thomas

Hello, I need the possibility to login to other machines on my network. With kdm it works by choosing "Remote Login" from a menu in the greeter. I would prefer not to use kdm. ;-) I saw that the option "greeter-show-remote-login" should do that for lightdm. I work with a debian "wheezy/testing" system and installed the following packages from the

Hi, I discovered when using my fuse fs for connecting to a remote host using sftp that the new server version 7.4 sends a greeter which is not according the format desribed in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4253#section-4 There is written that the greeter "MUST be terminated by a single Carriage Return (CR) and a single Line Feed (LF) character (ASCII 13 and 10, respectively)." Now

With dual monitors, how do I control which monitor will get the greeter display. I would really like to configure the screens as mirrored. Trying to log in when the monitor with the greeter is not visible is very trying. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.

Many times when i boot my Xen machine i get a message saying something like "The greeter application has failed many times, using alternative greeter." From there on I can do everything OK as far as i can see. Sometimes when i boot the machine, it just randomly restarts halfway through the boot process. It has also been crashing alot lately when i try to run it 24/7. Any ideas? here

I came across a race condition in lightdm greeter setup phase before the login screen is displayed (at boot time or after logout). I reported this also on Launchpad with more details (https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1172752), but to work on a proper fix, ideas on how to fix this would be welcome. During greeter setup "lightdm --session-child" is spawned twice. The first call to

Does *anyone* have a clue where gdm-simple-greeter stores the usernames it presents? I know that it is not getting it out of /etc/passwd. based on users who can log in, since I have several machines where one user, who's rolled off, is still showing, even though /etc/passwd has him as having a shell that doesn't exist. mark

So, we've updated to 7.5, and for two machines--A Dell Precision M4800, and a Dell Precision 7510..both running Radeon cards--we no longer get the GDM Greeter login box NOR can we switch to virtual text login terminals. It's been driving me nuts. The systems do allow for SSH logins, so that's how we get to them, but I've checked the Xorg.0.log and nothing stands out. Did a
