Lightdm config

I recently had problems finding the complete list of configuration parameters for Lightdm. On Debian, the full template file is included on a fresh installation, but after adding the lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings package, it seems to get overwritten and I was not able to locate the backup that was perhaps taken.

On Void Linux, you only get a few options in the included file, you have to Google for things like bar position and default image. So here I’ve included the .conf file that comes default with Debian. Simply download it and remove the .txt extension and then place it in /etc/lightdm.

Before that, don’t forget to backup your current configuration file just in case:

cp /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
                ~/Documents/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.BAK

I hope it helps! Thank you for reading!
