Manual User Login

Open xoxys opened this issue 8 years ago • 7 comments

Hi, is there a way to enable manual user login? The option in lightdm.conf greeter-show-manual-login = true seems not to work...

Thanks for your help

No, I'm afraid manual login is not currently supported in the default theme. Sorry!

Bad... So to use Antergos with LDAP/Active Directory there is only the ugly "simple theme" or GTK-Greeter?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

There was an request last year https://github.com/Antergos/lightdm-webkit2-greeter/issues/7

Is there a way to implement this feature in near future?

There is a chance, yes. Though I can't promise when it will be done. My schedule is pretty full at the moment. Sorry!

@xoxys I made a theme luminosity (based on this theme) suitable for manual user login (LDAP/Kerberos/AD). It also presents some static information, customizable via a json config file.

@lots0logs I could not find documentation about callback functions in the API Documentation, but I found references in the manpage. However in the manpage the function to start a session is specified as lightdm.start_session_sync(session) whereas the API Documentation states lightdm.start_session(session). What is the difference?

I only tested this with web-greeter version 2.2.5. Are there any changes to the API with the new 3.0.0 beta? Do you have a changelog?
