Package request: lightdm-mini-greeter

It is a single user lightdm greeter, it only has a password field. The developer has made a Debian Stretch amd64 package, so build should be easy.

Since many MX users are the only user of their computer this would be an option to remove the inconvenience and delay of typing in their username every time.

FYI, the current lightdm greeter should be showing the default user's login name. I haven't typed my name in forever....

... Yes, and a Grub password with an automatic login give the same thing (or almost, for me, and more secure ) .

Seems like anyone that really wants to build a deb just needs to follow the developer's recipe, too:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake pkg-config fakeroot debhelper \
    liblightdm-gobject-dev libgtk-3-dev

cd lightdm-mini-greeter

fakeroot dh binary

sudo dpkg -i ../lightdm-mini-greeter_*.deb
