Hi James, There was a behaviour change in unity-greeter - now it only shows the manual login box if you can't log in using another method (in this case remote login is available, though there seems to be a bug in unity- greeter because it is unpopulated).
What you need to do is configure the greeter to always show the manual login box, which can be done with the following setting: [SeatDefaults] greeter-hide-users=true greeter-show-manual-login=true ** Package changed: lightdm (Ubuntu) => unity-greeter (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: unity-greeter (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1234856 Title: user text box not displayed with greeter-hide-users=true in lightdm Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: When running Ubuntu 13.10 Beta 2 ( with the latest updates as of 10/03/2013 ) if I disable the lightdm graphical user list, no text box is displayed to enter a username and the GUI login screen. user@ubuntu1310-i386:~$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-ubuntu.conf [SeatDefaults] user-session=ubuntu allow-guest=false greeter-hide-users=true Description: Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch) Release: 13.10 lightdm: Installed: 1.7.17-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.7.17-0ubuntu1 Expected results is that a text box is displayed for entering the username / password to login.
