LightDM
LightDM is a cross-desktop display manager whose aim is to be the standard display manager for the X server.
The key features (as listed by upstream) include:
- A well-defined greeter API allowing multiple GUIs
- Support for all display manager use cases, with plugins where appropriate
- Low code complexity
- Fast performance

配置
The (global) configuration file for LightDM can be found at:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
GTK+
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
KDE
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-kde-greeter.conf
The LightDM KDE greeter also provides a KCM (KDE Control Module), which appears in the System Settings under System Administration → Login Screen (LightDM).
Due to LightDM currently assuming GTK+ greeter as the default, if the KDE greeter is requested, it needs to be specified in the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[SeatDefaults] … greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter
RazorQt
The RazorQt greeter currently does not offer any configuration options.
启动服务
OpenRC
把 LightDM设置为默认显示管理器:
/etc/conf.d/xdm
DISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm"
要在启动时启动LightDM,请将dbus和xdm添加到默认运行级别:
root #
rc-update add dbus default
root #
rc-update add xdm default
现在启动LightDM:
root #
/etc/init.d/dbus start
root #
/etc/init.d/xdm start
systemd
启动LightDM时启动:
root #
systemctl enable lightdm
现在启动LightDM:
root #
systemctl start lightdm
命令行工具
LightDM includes a command-line tool, dm-tool, which can be used to switch user sessions, lock the current seat, etc. To see a list of available commands, use the --help
option:
user $
dm-tool --help
例如,锁定当前位置:
user $
dm-tool lock

As of March 28, 2015, the stable versions of lightdm (lightdm-1.10.3) and lightdm-gtk-greeter (lightdm-gtk-greeter-1.7.0) have a bug that affects some DEs such as XFCE with setting the mouse cursor. Applications will apply the new mouse theme, but the root window where the window manager draws on does not. To get around this, simply unmask the latest versions (lightdm-1.13.2 and lightdm-gtk-greeter-2.0.0 at the time of writing) and the cursors will be set correctly.
