| droid2 | I am wondering where in the configuration files is where you set the default theme the desktop manager lightdm is supposed to uses when startx? I did a find and all i have for greeter files is /etc/pam.d/lightdm-greeter nothing in there looks to be a setting for a theme like ambiance which is set by default? | 22:41 |
|---|---|---|
| TheMuso | droid2: Do you mean the actual greeter used, or the actual UI theme? | 22:43 |
| TheMuso | The UI theme depends on the greeter in use. | 22:43 |
| droid2 | there is no greeter section in the lightdm.conf | 22:43 |
| droid2 | by default | 22:43 |
| droid2 | UI theme not the actual login page/session after you do that when your in the lightdm desktop manager | 22:44 |
| droid2 | Without going thru the appearence gui | 22:44 |
| droid2 | of the settings | 22:44 |
| droid2 | there must be a configuration file for it some where that its held in? | 22:44 |
| TheMuso | Depends on the greeter. | 22:46 |
| TheMuso | Unity-greeter uses gsettings, and I think its theme is hard-coded. GTK greeter I think uses conf files similar to lightdm itself. | 22:46 |
| droid2 | ok but in my cases i have lightdm so are they hardcoded or in a config file.... and if there hardcoded what is the program that sets this | 22:48 |
| jbicha | droid2: are you using lightdm-gtk-greeter or unity-greeter? | 22:51 |
| droid2 | I mean i see all the themes under /usr/share/themes/ and an index.theme file for most of them but what sets the lightdm to uses one over the other i don't see anything in the config files under gnome or lightdm in /etc . And would it be under an /etc/X11 i would think it would be a configuarion file of the desktop or windows manager | 22:53 |
| droid2 | How do i know that ? | 22:53 |
| droid2 | I mean in the current theme index.theme file i have a line like this | 22:55 |
| droid2 | IconTheme=ubuntu-mono-dark | 22:55 |
| droid2 | so i am assuming maybe the ubuntu unity greeter confused | 22:55 |
| droid2 | ?? | 22:56 |
| droid2 | humm i did search the system and all the unity i have is under /usr no config files under /etc | 23:03 |
| droid2 | then ps -A for unity gives me http://pastebin.com/J7qH5cqk | 23:04 |
| droid2 | Though when i man for unity i don't get any options i can see to set this as well as see also unity-panel-service so kind of wondering how to set the theme ? | 23:07 |
| droid2 | And how the appearence gui dropdown box is setting this | 23:07 |
| droid2 | http://pastebin.com/n1P0nKA0 | 23:19 |
| jbicha | droid2: it might be easier to use lightdm-gtk-greeter if you want customization | 23:22 |
| droid2 | so searching i do have unity-greeter but i don't have any strings like lightdm-gtk-greeter | 23:22 |
| jbicha | sudo apt install lightdm-gtk-greeter | 23:24 |
| droid2 | i just man the unity-greeter and it say's something about it is configured in the lightdm.conf file but all i see when i go to /etc/lightdm.conf file is lightdm-autologin no greeting setting | 23:24 |
| droid2 | I understand i can uses alternative my point is i want to beable to understand how this unity one is working ... i mean i can set it thru the appearance settings pretty easilly so kind of wonder? | 23:26 |
| droid2 | I looked a little farther and i did searches for lightdm only 2 programs but in the man page there was references to dm-tool so i looked there but that didn't have a setting really for the theme more for locking system , switching users,...etc | 23:29 |
| droid2 | Also kind of confused is ligtdm part of gnome because i have /etc/gnome files as well as programs http://pastebin.com/tXNtNkkP | 23:32 |
| droid2 | Some of which are running like gnome-keyring ,gnome-session , gnome-termina ,...etc how can to desktop managers be running on the same computer or partially parts of each ... i don't have the gdm so its using the lightdm but still gnome-session won't it be using lightdm-session so CONFUSED | 23:34 |
| droid2 | and yes i have unity-greeter.desktop which has the X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=unity-greater and i think this is where one set the greeter and restarts lightdm | 23:39 |
| droid2 | But either way i think the greeters are only for login not for themes and customization when your already logged in? | 23:41 |
