Username clickable at login screen

[bensewell]

How do you display the username at the login screen? Moved to Debian over from Mint12 x64. The speed is amazing on this version but expect the wife saying "its changed" so if / how do you enable the username to be selectable at the login screen?

Depends on what Display Manager you use:
If you use GDM you have to edit the file /etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults
And add the line or just take away the hash:

Code: Select all

/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list      false

and as root

Code: Select all

dpkg-reconfigure gdm3

MDM has the file /etc/mdm/mdm.conf

Magic will give it a try. its the default display manager that comes with mint so unsure.
