{{LightDM need some configuring to make it Correct but with the right Steps it Works}} | |||
'''LigtDM''' is a light displaymanager without depencies of gnome. With the right greeter it works but need some manual intervention to do it, here some steps. | |||
sudo pacman -S lightdm lightdm-another-gtk-greeter lightdm-another-gtk-greeter-themes accountsservice | |||
First configure the Greeter in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf # depend on which greeter you always set it here | |||
sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | |||
[SeatDefaults] | |||
greeter-session=lightdm-another-gtk-greeter # This sets the lightDM-another-greeter | |||
user-session=xfce # Depends on Desktop it Sets to your standard desktop | |||
LightDM.conf is configured. Now we have to configure the greeter. This a few lines you have to search mostly there you see "#" before it. | |||
sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-another-gtk-greeter.conf | |||
[appearance] | |||
# Greeter theme. Themes are located in “themes” directory (“/usr/share/lightdm-$ | |||
greeter-theme=gtk-greeter-160 # theme of the greeter. | |||
# Background color (#RRGGBB) or image | |||
background=/usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/alone.jpg # path to the background. | |||
# User styles file | |||
#css-file= | |||
# Logo: “file_path” or “#icon_name” | |||
#logo= | |||
# Gtk theme to use | |||
# Gtk theme to use | |||
gtk-theme=greenbird # depend on your theme but i use greenbird for it :) | |||
# Icons theme to use | |||
icon-theme=kotenza # these are my own likings but this you choose your icons settings | |||
font-name=comfortaa # you can probably leave an # in front. | |||
when al is done you can setup user icons. | |||
sudo systemctl enable accounts-daemon | |||
look in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/ for your name if not so then you have to make it.you have to an text file with your username. | |||
with this info on board. | |||
[User] | |||
Language=nl_BE.utf8 | |||
XSession=xfce | |||
Icon=/var/lib/AccountsService/icons/<username>.png | |||
you have configured the the icon stuf. | |||
make sure you install '''xorg-server-xephyr''' | |||
then u can do '''lightdm --test-mode''' to test how it works you get a black window with a patience you see if it working or not. are all certain of it. | |||
Disable the running display manager forst with | |||
sudo systemctl disable mdm # for example | |||
