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

Dear All, CentOs 6 is great, but I would like to get back 2 things from 5.6 : how can I always see the text lines during startup? (so no graphical screen ) how can I *not *see all the users on the system when loging on? (so that users also have to remember their username) thanks for any advise.

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

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

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

I have a problem that is now becoming very annoying. Namely I have a Centos 7 member server running Sernet Samba 4.7.4 for which everything seems to work except gdm or ftp logins. On the linux client it seems winbindd is set up correctly. For example (the data shown below has been sanitized): > getent passwd testuser2:*:3001108:3000513::/home/testuser1:/bin/bash

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

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

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

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

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
