Missclick - sorry.
Hello~ First, if you wanna use one of these web based greeters, like nody-greeter, you need to install it and set greeter-session=nody-greeter
at /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
. If the lightdm
service is not enabled, you should so: sudo ln -s /etc/sv/lightdm /var/service/
.
These greeters come with three preinstalled themes: gruvbox (the default one), dracula and simple.
For lightdm-void-theme, you can follow the instructions in the README to build the theme and copy it to /usr/share/web-greeter/themes
where all themes should reside. You can use nody-greeter --list
to list all installed themes; lightdm-void-theme should be listed.
Then, open your web-greeter/nody-greeter config file at /etc/lightdm/web-greeter.yml
(it's the same config file for both greeters), and edit the theme: gruvbox
value to theme: lightdm-void-theme
:
greeter:
...
theme: lightdm-void-theme
...
You could run nody-greeter --debug
to preview your chosen theme, and if everything is okay, just let it stay~ Or restart the lightdm service to make sure everything is setup correctly.
Hi!
Thanks for your response - putting nody-greeter
in the lightdm.conf
did the trick. Everything else was already done and after a reboot it successfully loaded into nody-greeter. I think you should include that in the readme, but that's just my opinion - because didn't see people having this problem nor see this in the docs
Thanks again and have a great night (it's 12 AM in GMT+2 right now), Oskar
I'll add this step in the README just in case. Good night there~
Hi, I know - this might sound really dumb (because it probably is), how to actually execute this greeter at system startup? I scoured the internet for solutions, tried modifying in
lightdm.conf
the "greeter-session = web-greeter
", even used the archivedlightdm-webkit2-greeter
(it worked with setting "greeter-session = lightdm-webkit2-greeter
" in the lightdm config, but I wasn't able to set yourlightdm-void-theme
https://github.com/JezerM/lightdm-void-theme which I'm interested in). The node-greeter command works though in my desktop environment and launches a greeter, but this isn't my goal.OS: Void Linux x86_64 Kernel: 5.18.9_1
Thank you guys for any suggestions and help, Oskar
