You agreed that that is a good solution.Then I closed the bug, because the means you need (drop-in files for config tweaking) is already present in lightdm's package, so not a bug anymore from package maintainers' points of view.Problem solved, I thought. Is your problem not solved?My problem would be fixed when there was a /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ , but so far I know there is nothing like that.Maybe I don't know about a recent change? I've looked into my system (Debian stable), here: https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/l/lightdm/lightdm_1.32.0-7_changelog and here: https://salsa.debian.org/xfce-extras-team/lightdm
Ah, only some greeters create that directory: [sunweaver@sunobo ~]$ dpkg -S /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/lomiri-greeter, arctica-greeter-guest-session, arctica-greeter-remote-logon, arctica-greeter: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d
However, as site admin, simply create that dir and drop config files snippets into it.
Please close the bug again, if that solves your challenge. Mike -- mike gabriel aka sunweaver (Debian Developer) mobile: +49 (1520) 1976 148 landline: +49 (4351) 486 14 27 GnuPG Fingerprint: 9BFB AEE8 6C0A A5FF BF22 0782 9AF4 6B30 2577 1B31 mail: [email protected], http://sunweavers.net
