What is LightDM?
LightDM is the display manager running
in Ubuntu. It starts the X servers, user sessions and greeter (login
screen). The default greeter in Ubuntu is Unity Greeter.
Configuration
LightDM configuration is provided by the following files:
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/*.conf /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/*.conf /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
System provided configuration is stored in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/*.conf and is not user editable. System administrators can override this configuration in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/*.conf and /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf. Files are read in the above order and combined together to make the LightDM configuration.
For example, if you want to override the system configured default session (provided in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf) you should make a file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-myconfig.conf with the following:
[SeatDefaults] user-session=mysession
An example file showing all the possible configuration is provided in /usr/share/doc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.gz.
Disabling Guest Login
By default LightDM allows you to log into a session as a temporary user; disable this with:
[SeatDefaults] allow-guest=false
Hiding the User List
Unity
Greeter (and some other greeters) shows the list of possible user
accounts by default. If you want to disable this (you have too many
users or security concerns) use the following configuration. You may
also want to explicitly enable manual login with this feature.
[SeatDefaults] greeter-hide-users=true
Allow Manual Login
Unity Greeter (and some other greeters) don't allow you to enter a username to log in with by default. You can enable this with:
[SeatDefaults] greeter-show-manual-login=true
Setting an Automatic Login
To set the system to automatically start with a logged in user set the autologin-user. If autologin-user-timeout is
set the greeter will be shown for this many seconds before the
automatic login occurs. User activity will cancel this timeout.
[SeatDefaults] autologin-user=username autologin-user-timeout=delay
If you want to set the automatic login to be a guest session then set:
autologin-guest=true
Changing the Default Session
The default session is set by configuration in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ that session packages provide. If you need to override this you can set:
[SeatDefaults] user-session=name
Where name is the name of the session .desktop file from /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop.
Changing the Greeter
The greeter is set by configuration in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ that greeter packages provide. If you need to override this you can set:
[SeatDefaults] greeter-session=name
Where name is the name of the greeter .desktop file from /usr/share/xgreeters/*.desktop.
Adding System Hooks
If
you need some special behaviour when X servers and user sessions
start/stop you can set commands to be run with the following
configuration:
[SeatDefaults] display-setup-script=command display-stopped-script=command (Not in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) greeter-setup-script=command session-setup-script=command session-cleanup-script=command session-wrapper=command greeter-wrapper=command (Not in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
display-setup-script is
run after the X server starts but before the user session / greeter is
run. Set this if you need to configure anything special in the X server.
It is run as root. If this command returns an error code the X server
is stopped.
display-stopped-script is run after an X server exits. It is run as root.
greeter-setup-script is
run before a greeter starts. It is run as root. If this command returns
an error code the greeter fails to start (which will cause LightDM to
stop).
session-setup-script is
run before a user session starts. If this command returns an error the
session will not start (user is returned to a greeter).
session-cleanup-script is run after a greeter or user session stops. It is run as root.
session-wrapper is
a the command to run for a session. This command is run as the user and
needs to exec the command passed in the arguments to complete running
the session. Use this if you need to do special setup for a user
session. Note the default is 'lightdm-session' so you should chain to
this if you need to override this setting.
greeter-wrapper is a the command to run a greeter. It is the equivalent of session-wrapper for greeters.
Changing the Wallpaper
LightDM does not configure the look of greeters; to do this configure the appropriate greeter.
Unity
Greeter by default shows the currently selected users background. To
set the default background and stop the switching edit
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/10_unity_greeter_background.gschema.override
[com.canonical.unity-greeter] draw-user-backgrounds=false background='/foo/wallpaper.png'
And run sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ to apply these settings.
For LightDM GTK+ greeter edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf:
background=/usr/share/lubuntu/wallpapers/lubuntu-default-wallpaper.png
Help, I can't see my Desktop!
Many things can go wrong in a graphics stack. If you can't see any graphics or see corrupt graphics the following might help:
- You can get to a text terminal using alt-ctrl-F1.
- Check the LightDM logs in /var/log/lightdm.
- Stop LightDM with sudo stop lightdm.
- You can try LightDM again with sudo start lightdm.
- If you have another display manager you want to try (e.g. gdm) start that: sudo start gdm.
- You can set the default display manager by running sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm.
- Check your system is up to date, especially video drivers.
- File a bug. If you're not sure where the cause is (lightdm / unity-greeter / unity / X / kernel) file against lightdm and the bug will be triaged and reassigned.
Reporting Problems
To file a bug run the following from a terminal:
ubuntu-bug lightdm
All appropriate information/logs are attached to the bug report.
