Chapter 3.1.9 SDDM configuration
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Sddm is the display manager that shows up when you first log in to Lubuntu or logout or choose to another session. This has no graphical application to do this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
------
|
|
If you have autologin enabled and want to disable autologin open the file /etc/sddm.conf as root. To do this run
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
lxqt-sudo featherpad
|
|
|
|
and open /etc/sddm.conf. Then to disable autologin remove the entire line [autologin].
|
|
|
|
To test your sddm configuration and make sure it is a valid one so you can log in run
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
sddm-greeter --test-mode
|
|
|
|
To change the picture for your user when you login simply copy the file you want as your user picture to in your home folder with the name .face.icon .
|
|
|
|
If you want to install other themes for sddm in muon or from the command line search for packages that start their name with sddm-theme. The theme will be stored in /usr/share/sddm/theme/. To test and see what this new theme looks like run
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme /path/to/theme
|
|
|
|
from the command line. To set this new theme as your default theme for sddm see alternatives in chapter 3.2.17 and update the sddm-ubuntu-theme group of alternatives. From the command line to switch this setting you can run
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --config sddm-ubuntu-theme
|
|
|
|
from the command line. To add a new background for a particular theme copy that image into the theme folder as root. Then in your theme edit the file theme.conf as root and change the line background= with the path to your image. To edit theme.conf as root run
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
sudo nano /usr/share/sddm/themes/lubuntu/theme.conf
|
|
|
|
However to copy the image file since this is not in your home system copying and saving a background to this folder will require root permissions as well.
