Hello Fabio,

If it's not your team that maintains lightdm, I understand your reluctance.

I tested lightdm-settings but I'm not a fan and it doesn't remember the username, which is my primary need.

It's even worse if I change the settings so that it remembers my username, I can't change user to connect to a graphical session ;-(

How to return to default settings ??

The option you told me you change manually is one of those that can be set from lightdm-settings and I also tried it before replying to the email.

Regarding remembering the user, I suppose do you mean automatic login, with that is normal that autologin on specified user instead select.

There isn't a reset to default FWIK in lightdm, simple revert the changes you did.

About "remember the username" you need seems is not both of the selected option (hide users and autologin), probably is last-user (hide users disabled, I think is needed a part of your objective)


Regards.

Philippe

Hello,

I have a favor to ask you.


Every time I install Debian on a machine, for lightdm to remember my username, I have to edit the file :

/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

and manually modify the line below by removing the # in front of it :

greeter-hide-users=false

This is really annoying, would you be so kind as to correct this ?
Hi, for proposing a change of this lightdm default setting you should
ask on the lightdm package (not maintained by this team), inserting
settings for lightdm from cinnamon packages doesn't seem a good thing to me.

One recent change I did to cinnamon meta package include also
lightdm-settings (indirectly) if there are old or minimal installations
it can be installed by hand, with that you can set that setting and
others quickly and easily from the control panel.


Other than that I hope we can get Cinnamon 6.4 + Mint themes X,Y,L with Debian 13.
About Cinnamon 6.4 is still in development, should start to beta
probably shortly, I started to include in Debian unstable some
components with only fix and minor things that not require strict deps,
I hope I can get full 6.4 included before the Debian 13 freeze.


I started long time ago about mint themes packages on Debian, but then I
stopped due to dubious copyright issues and included trademark and
non-free logo on mint-x-icons:
https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-x-icons/issues/198#issuecomment-2091511537

Checking and removing all the unsuitable icons takes a lot of time,
which I don't have.

mint-x-icons is a dep. for mint-themes, ifanyone would like to
contribute it would be welcome, I suppose the theme packages won't be
made without someone's contribution.



Thank you for reading, I wish you a pleasant weekend and happy end-of-year holidays.


Regards.


Philippe
