Not authenticating #53

Closed rban123 closed 4 years ago

rban123 commented 4 years ago

I have just installed lightdm-mini-greeter from the master branch. I have already edited the .conf file to use my username, but when I type in my password it does not authenticate. OS is archlinux and DE is xfce4. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I apologize for opening this issue before really digging. The issue was caused by not having set a default session for the greeter to open in the .conf file. Because the greeter does not have a drop down menu for selecting your DE, you have to specify which session it uses. Perhaps that should be added to the README for newcomers like myself.
