How to apply a custom lightdm theme #191

Open ImGGAAVVIINN opened 1 year ago

ImGGAAVVIINN commented 1 year ago

Describe the question

I want to make my custom iso have a custom login screen, but I don't know how to install/apply it through the command line since I always do that with a GUI app

What you have tried

I want to install this theme: https://github.com/tweakmy/lightdm-webkit-win7 I got lightdm-webkit-greeter installed by manually downloading all the dependencies as deb since it is not in the Linux Mint repo. Then I created the file "lightdm.conf" at /etc/lightdm/ since it does not exist and I add this into the file: [SeatDefaults] greeter-session=lightdm-webkit-theme

What happens after you install the customized OS to a disk?

Does the custom ligntdm theme still not show up?

It just refuses to start up WhatsApp Image 2023-04-11 at 10 20 38 AM I think I messed up 😅

Indeed. The good news is, it looks like it is trying to use your LightDM customization.

ImGGAAVVIINN commented 1 year ago

So what should I do now? I don't know how to set the lightdm theme in a command line environment and let it boot after installing

edit: idk why GitHub wants me to close the issue

It shows that you closed the issue three hours ago.

I've reopened it, however, I do not have experience with Light DM. Did you check the Linux Mint forums? I suspect this problem is not specific to Cubic, but something others would encounter simply trying to change their login manager. If you do solve this problem, you should update this question with an answer so others can benefit.

One suggestion I could make is to make sure you have a Linux kernel installed in \boot, execute update-initramfs -uk all, and then select the new kernel on Cubic's Kernel tab. (This is just a guess, but it wouldn't hurt).
