Package: lightdm-gtk-greeter
Version: 2.0.3-1
After my latest upgrade/reboot, the behavior of lightdm has changed.
Previously, on fresh boot and lock screen I would be
presented with a username/password entry dialog with empty username,
empty password, and focus on username. The new behavior has
username pre-populated and focus on password. (Is this more likely
to be lightdm-gtk-greeter or lightdm itself?)
My understanding is that greeter-hide-users=true is intended to not
give any indication of the valid users on the machine, whether
currently/previously logged in or not. (If I am in error here,
please accept my apologies and close the report.) I think I am
using an unmodified stock debian config,
root at prolepsis:~# lightdm --show-config
[Seat:*]
A greeter-session=lightdm-greeter
A greeter-hide-users=true
A session-wrapper=/etc/X11/Xsession
Sources:
A /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf
B /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
My latest upgrade went from 2.0.2-1 to 2.0.3-1, but the previous
upgrade cycle did not involve a reboot, if that would have been
necessary to get the 2.0.2-1 version running.
Thanks,
Ben
