From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

PeppermintOS: greeter setting wrong? (lemm.ee)

Hi, i hope someone can help me with this one

I logged-in, changed the touchpad behaviour,. It works as expected. But when log-out, the settings didn't change in the greeter. Reboot doesnt change that.

:~$ cat/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | grep greeter-session

greeter-session=lightdm-greeter

Is that the right greeter? I heard it should be greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter instead. Does LightDM default to a different setting?

What can i do to get the touchpad right in the greeter?

Thanks for your help!

Its been a while since I used lightdm but you need to check what greeter you have installed. I used to have a fancy webkit greeter which was animated but I digress.

About the touchpad, the session managers are their own session, so you need to configure it for the session itself. Do check the Arch wiki for configuration hints.
