similar to: gdm-simple-greeter config?

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

In CentOS5 you were able to create a server section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf such as [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 4 -s 15 chooser=false handled=true flexible=true priority=0 After this change, Xorg would run with the -br -audit 4 -s 15 options. Unfortunately in CentOS6 this is not the case. It completely ignores anything put into custom.conf as far

Hi, I am not sure if I probably have overlooked some important clue, but I am stuck with a problem with the gdm-greeter in CentOS 6.3 here since three days without finding any suitable solution. The problem: * I have to somehow deactivate the "Suspend", "Restart" and "Shutdown" options in the login screen. * This has to be done in CLI mode, as I have to change

Hi, [CentOS 5] What is the best way to remove the shutdown and suspend options from menu's for normal users? After googling around, I added "SystemMenu=false" to the greeter section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf. After that the GDM login screen still shows the options, but 'restart' indeed doesn't work anymore. However, the gnome menu's when logged in, still have the

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

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

I've looked around in the menus and googled this, but I can't find a way to make the login require a username instead of just showing the available users to select from. ?Where do I change this? ?I'm using CentOS 6.5. Thanks, -wes

Greetings, I've been subscribed to this list for some time and I'd like to start off by thanking everyone who helps out on it. This is my first post to it, so please be gentle :-) I have several offices set up with RedHat and CentOS terminal servers. We are using CentOS 4.6 and RedHat 4.6 on them, GDM for the display manager, and PXES (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pxes/) for 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.

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

Hi, It looks like the upgrade to CentOS 7.6 has been unusually disruptive with the GNOME desktop version bump and a series of moving targets under the hood. The result is some wreckage at my client's desktop installations, which I've been busy to repair since yesterday. First things first. I have a custom configuration of GDM, which consists mainly of two things. 1. Display my

I'm the founder and lead developer of the lightweight Linux distro Swift Linux. I'm currently in the process of switching from the old antiX Linux base to the new Linux Mint Debian Edition base. The new Swift Linux will be using LightDM instead of SLiM. I've found that replacing LMDE's default GDM display manager with SLiM disables many functions (like audio). Restoring these
