[Solved] How do I get lightdm to default usernames?

#1 Post by lazarus »

Hi,

I recently migrated from fedora to Debian. The transition was mostly smooth although there are a few questions. I'll take them one by one.

I am using Debian 12 with the XFCE window manager. Is there a method to make a particular account the default login? I have to enter the username as well as the password to sign on/wake up. It would be good to default to my account

Thanks

I believe that you can edit this file to turn off hiding users:

/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf

Thanks all. Going forward is there a way to mark the thread solved? I edited the subject manually but I figure there must be a "thread tools" somewhere. So obvious I can't see it.

Use the edit button in your first post to change the title and add prefix [Solved]. And please give your topic a proper title as requested.
