Or how to avoid the whirlwind. Greetings everyone. I observe the coding of lighdm is well under way and I'm thinking the pressure to meet the releases of 11.11 is probably going to build without bounds. Is there time now to consider the inclusion of some of the more offbeat use cases? 1: Headless(no monitor, keyboard, or monitor) 2: True headless(no video card) but Xvfb. 3: No X but only

Hi, I made the switch from KDE4->XFCE, and because gdm takes more time than xfce to start I would like to replace it with lightdm. I installed lightdm, set it as default display manager and configured the gtk greeter. However, when I start I only get a black screen (x running) and nothing else happens. When I start it as root with the --test-mode argument, I get the following message: lightdm

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 LightDM support multiseat setups? For example, I have a PC with multiple graphics cards, monitors, keyboards - used by multiple users concurrently. Will LightDM let me use one PC by many users concurrently (i.e. login screen on every monitor, allowing to start different sessions for different users). -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org

I've been using lightdm for about a year now and with all the versions I've tried, Gentoo prints a message about lightdm and xdm failing to stop if I reboot from the lightdm menu or the xfce4 menu. If I issue 'reboot' as root from an xterm within xfce4, lightdm stops fine. I couldn't find anything in the logs, but in which one of syslog-ng's logs should I look? I'm

Hi, I'm currently testing the XDMCP functionality of LightDM which seems to work flawless, however, there is one issue which I cannot resolve: The machine I am using for my setup is a dedicated machine running some VM's, these VM's don't have any graphics card associated and run headless and the only form of command is via a web interface or SSH. LightDM seems to use the

Hi all, I'm setting up an LXC container for Ubuntu 13.10 where the X server is started in the host on vt6. The unix socket and authority file are then mounted in the LXC container. I can start X sessions and applications from the container but I can't get LightDM to use this server. I would really like to have the container's LightDM/Ubuntu greeter to automatically start on this

On a CentOS 7 system I'm trying to install lightdm. Yum says it requires "glib2(x86-64) >= 2.50.3". glib2 2.46 is installed but I have not found a 2.50 version.

Hello All, slightly unrelated because lightdm = epel, I know. Still, maybe someone had the same issue.

Hi all, I've removed two legacy features from LightDM: 1. lightdm-set-defaults This tool was created so that scripts could easily modify the LightDM configuration, in particular so packages could modify it on installation / removal. This is not required since LightDM 1.8 as you can now create a snippet of configuration in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d or /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d.

With the retirement of Ubuntu 10.04 LightDM 1.0 is now no longer supported. I am currently supporting each LightDM release for as long as it is supported in an Ubuntu release [1]. If anyone wants to extend support for releases beyond this please let me know and I'm happy to pass maintenance of that branch to appropriate individuals. You can see the support status of each branch here:

Greetings, I've been trying to get LightDM working on FreeBSD, as there is no package for it yet. I've managed to get it compiled from source, but it fails to start. It displays the message, "Failed to get D-Bus connection". D-Bus is running, and LightDM starts the X server fine. Is there anything I need to do to get it to talk to dbus? Right now I have LightDM installed in my
