There seems to be no man page for /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf and gdm3(8) is pretty light on details.
So I end up on https://help.gnome.org/admin/gdm/3.26/c ... on.html.en
Lots of info, but either it's not complete, or there are options missing:
So my UID=501 and I want my default GUI to be cinnamon :
Says[greeter]
IncludeAll=true
Well my 501 is being filtered out, so I'd like to change that to say 100 , can't see howAny users with a user id less than 500 (or 100 if running on Oracle Solaris) are filtered out.
Can't see a way to make cinnamon the default?
Now I guess I could just delete all the other choices from /usr/share/xsessions, but that feels like the school of hit it 'till it works.
So I simply want:
1: My userid to appear as a choice on the XDM
2: My chosen GUI default to be remembered
Seems a pretty simple requirement , I've tried to RTFM for various "flavours" of FM but no joy. is there a good "HOWTO" somewhere? ( a full syntax description for /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf seems like what I need, but I'm prepared to disabused of that notion)
