Pantheon's greeter has numerous issues that cannot be fixed in a timely manner, and users are better off if they just didn't use it by default.

Looks like the test succeeds here. Locally things still function properly. So I think I just need feedback on the |

Hello all, there is just one weird thing about Pantheon here: I am using LightDM with lightdm-gtk-greeter. (see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 4#p1928724 ) When I log out of the current session, I expect that I get back to the login screen (greeter) asking me to choose my DE and to log in again. Instead, when using Pantheon, the screen blanks and afterwards, the Pantheon wallpaper reappears but without WingPanel and/or Plank. There is also no right-click menu anymore when clicking on the desktop. All I can do in this situation is switching to a text console and either kill X or reboot. As this does not happen with xfce, I assume that there is some Pantheon setting that needs to be corrected. Thank you very much for any hint in advance and kind regards, |
Hi, I would recommend that you use pantheon's lightdm greeter as it is tested to work with pantheon and will integrate with the desktop properly. Could you open a new issue with these details? I'm also wondering which release you're on, this PR is for an EOL one which I can't provide support for. This issue does at least ring a bell for me with 20.09 and unstable |
