[Solved] Lightdm doesn't show my user's name

[dancer_69]

I just installed debian 12 and I didn't want to have to input my user's name every time, so I found that I need to uncommend the line:
"greeter-hide-users=false" in lightdm conf in "[Seat:*]" section. After that I rebooted and now ther is a list box instead of the edit box in lightdm, but the list haven't my user's name, have only 1 item which is "other". So how to make it show my user's name?

Hello,

what is the output of

Code: Select all

$> grep -v "^#\|^$" /etc/lightdm/{lightdm,users}.conf

and, if you don't mind,

Code: Select all

$> id

?

Hello.
It looks like you have configured lightdm incorrectly

By default, LightDM is configured so that the user should enter both their login name and password. The login name is considered sensitive information.
It is possible to provide the user with a selection of available user accounts. The most recently used login name will be selected in the list. The user still has to enter their password to login. This provides a useful compromise between security and convenience for a single-user desktop system.

To enable the user list, place the following setting into:

/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_my.conf

Code: Select all

[Seat:*]
greeter-hide-users=false

Your configuration should work. Maybe it's theme related, try this in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf under [greeter]

Code: Select all

theme-name=Adwaita
