Summary : Autologin greeter using LightDM
URL : https://github.com/spanezz/lightdm-autologin-greeter
License : MIT
Description : lightdm-autologin-greeter is a minimal greeter for LightDM that has
: the same autologin behavior as nodm, but being based on LightDM,
: it stays on top of modern display manager requirements.
:
: The difference between LightDM's built-in autologin and this greeter,
: is the behavior in case of 0-seconds autologin delay. When LightDM
: automatically logs in with no delay, upon logout it will show the
: login window again. The intent is that if the default user logged out,
: they probably intend to log in again as a different user.
:
: In the case of managing a kiosk-like setup, if the X session quits, then
: the desired behavior is to just start it again.
:
: LightDM with an autologin timeout of 1 or more seconds would work,
: but one sees the login dialog window appear and disappear
: on-screen at each system startup.
:
: With this greeter, the X session starts right away, and is restarted
: if it quits, without any flicker of a login dialog box.
:
: If one is not setting up a kiosk-like setup, it's very likely that the
: default autologin behavior of LightDM is the way to go, and that this
: greeter is not needed.
