** Description changed:
- When starting up lightdm shows me a couple of users, where the default
- is mine, somewhere in the middle of this list. When I click any user
- that appers below me the user is selected correctly and lightdm asks for
- that user's password. The same correct behaviour works for any user that
- is below the currently selected user.
+ I did some more playing around. And I suppose the problem is very
+ specific to me, I'm afraid.
- However, I cannot select a user that is above the currently selected
- one, which means having selected another user I cannot reselect mine by
- clicking on my name. Still, I can select the user at the top of the list
- and though this indirection get back to my user.
+ When starting up lightdm, the greeter gives me 5 options:
- I would rather be able to select any user I please directly, with just
- one click.
+ UserA
+ UserB
+ UserC
+ Guest
+ Remote
- I am using
+ I am UserB and when I am the last to have used the computer, UserB is
+ selected and I can enter my password. In that particular situation, when
+ I select any of UserC, Guest, Remote, I cannot reselect UserB. Clicking
+ on UserB simply doesn't do anything, however I can click to select any
+ other option. Just selecting UserA once, allows me to select UserB
+ again.
+
+ This phenomenon is limited to me, UserB, only. Loggin in as UserA or
+ UserC does not result in the same odd behaviour. For instance, I log in
+ as UserC and log out. Lightdm comes back up, UserC is selected and I can
+ select Guest and then click on UserC and UserC gets selected without any
+ problems.
+
+ UserA and UserC are both using Unity, whereas UserB uses XFCE. The UIDs
+ for User{A,B,C} are 1002,1001,1000, respectively. UserA however is
+ listed in /etc/lightdm/users.conf as a hidden user.
+
+ /etc/lightdm/users.conf:
+ [UserAccounts]
+ minimum-uid=1000
+ hidden-users=nobody nobody4 noaccess UserA
+ hidden-shells=/bin/false /usr/sbin/nologin
+
+ /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:
+ user-session=ubuntu
+ greeter-session=unity-greeter
+
+ I think this is the standard greeter, at least I didn't change it
+ intentionally. It shows up in the processes list like this:
+
+ 1548 tty7 Ssl+ 0:04 \_ /usr/bin/X :0 -core -auth
/var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch -background none
+ 1770 ? Sl 0:00 \_ lightdm --session-child 16 19
+ 1870 ? Ss 0:00 | \_ /bin/sh
/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session /usr/sbin/unity-greeter
+ 1876 ? Sl 0:05 | \_ /usr/sbin/unity-greeter
+
+
+ I am using
