#About This is a simple greeter for LightDM based on Kivy. I guess this is nothing for production, just a demonstration what can be made.
#Requirements
- Deb packages: liblightdm-gobject-1-0 gir1.2-lightdm-1 python-gobject
- And of course Kivy
#Installation
- Assure you are using as lightDM as your login-manager
- cp kivy-greeter.py /usr/local/bin/
- cp kivy-greeter.desktop /usr/share/xgreeters/
- make sure kivy-greeter is executable: chmod +x /usr/local/bin//kivy-greeter.py
- Activate the kivy-greeter: open /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and append/change: greeter-session=kivy-greeter
- reboot or
initctl restart lightdm
#Debuging
lightdm --test-mode --debug
=> kivy logs are in: $HOME/.cache/lightdm/log/x-1-greeter.log
