On Linux Mint 12, using the following options in the file, /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
greeter-hide-users=true allow-guest=false unity-greeter displays "Other..." at the top, when it should say "Login" because the user list is disabled. "Other..." has no meaning or purpose here, and to be completely honest it looks very strange. in unity-greeter.c I see "Other..." mentioned in at least three places. (Lines 598,684,1299) I'm guessing these could be changed to say "Login" to accomplish what would make some sort of sense. This particular machine is not using NIS login or card readers, all logins are local but we don't want the list of local user names displayed. Here is a link to a forum user looking for the same thing, changing "Other..." to "Login" when the user list is disabled. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1858962 <quote>Also is there a way to change 'Other...' to 'Login' when the user listing is disabled?</quote> Also, if you switch to high-contrast mode, "Other..." is displayed in its normal location, but also, two more times below where you enter a user name,for a total of three "Others..." Please accept my apologies in advance if all of this is something that is now fixed, but not merged into downstream Mint 12. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/844039 Title: Unity Greeter - By default the 'Other' login option should not be displayed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/844039/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
