LightDM doesn't load greeter in Fedora 36 Cinnamon #34

Closed Adog64 closed 1 year ago

Environment

Bug description

Nody greeter runs in debug mode, but lightdm refuses to load it. Either it defaults to a different greeter on the system, or if I remove all other greeters, lightdm loads no greeter and I have to boot to terminal and reinstall lightdm-gtk.

Steps to reproduce default greeter loading

Your error is here:

#greeter-session=nody-greeter

You must remove the comment symbol #, like this:

greeter-session=nody-greeter

However, it's known to not be working in Fedora for some weird and incomprehensible reasons, as stated in https://github.com/JezerM/nody-greeter/issues/16 and https://github.com/JezerM/web-greeter/issues/19.

Ok so I've made some progress. I took your advice and removed the #. At first, lightdm did not load a greeter at all, and then I added a file called nody-greeter.conf in my /etc/lightdm/ directory. I put one line in it, [greeter]. Now when I run lightdm --test-mode it works as expected, but it still doesn't work on startup.

Here's where I'm at: Screenshot from 2022-10-24 16-55-02

This is not needed, and this file doesn't even exist neither it does not fulfill a purpose.

but it still doesn't work on startup.

Yeah, as expected (though it's unexpected), web-greeter and nody-greeter doesn't work in Fedora for unknown reasons.

Hi, I recently added some new changes that fixes this issue at the latest commit d115ae8aaf169113edfd6a185a7d35834090a2ef, the same as https://github.com/JezerM/web-greeter/issues/19. You could try to build it and tell me if it works~
