lightdm (tested with 1.8.0 on Kubuntu 13.10 beta2) seems to ignore those settings in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:
[SeatDefaults] user-session=kde-plasma greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter greeter-hide-users=true greeter-show-manual-login=true allow-guest=false With these settings, no user list should be displayed (which is corporate policy here) and a manual login should be displayed. Despite these settings, the user list is still displayed and no manual login is shown. Is looks as if lightdm silently ignores those settings, although the conf file is being read (see attached log). ** Attachment added: "lightdm.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1234856/+attachment/3868582/+files/lightdm.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1234856 Title: user text box not displayed with greeter-hide-users=true in lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1234856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
