Cannot set primary monitor for login prompt #53

Closed Jaws540 closed 1 year ago

Jaws540 commented 1 year ago

Environment

Bug description

Login prompt displays on a monitor that is not the primary monitor (as set by xrandr). There seems to be no option or documentation on how to change which display is used for the login prompt.

Steps to reproduce

Basic setup and installation of lightdm and web-greeter. Installed the lightdm and web-greeter packages, enabled/started lightdm, and set the greeter-session to web-greeter.

Expected behavior

Login prompt displays on the configured primary display as set by xrandr.

Screenshots

Unable to capture screenshots, but I believe there is enough information to get the gist of it.

Extra

I have a 3 monitor setup and the login prompt always displays on the left most monitor despite setting the primary display.

I am unaware if this is a bug report of feature request, but since the website mentioned multi-monitor support and showed the login prompt appearing on the middle screen of a 3 screen setup, I thought I would log this as a bug report. Let me know if I am missing anything or can provide additional information.

Issue resolved. I thought I had tried everything, but I found my solution. For those that might stumble upon this, I set the display-startup-script=xrandr --output <your-display-ID-here> --primary in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf then restarted the lightdm service.
