Ubuntu 20.04 Login with no "see password" option
Assuming you have a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04, The workaround is to set the eye-icon size to 1px so that it is not visible and not reactive..
To use the workaround
Download the script from github with below command..
wget -qO - https://github.com/PRATAP-KUMAR/focalgdm3/archive/remove-eye-icon.tar.gz | tar zx --strip-components=1 focalgdm3-remove-eye-icon/focalgdm3
Run the command
sudo ./focalgdm3 \#4f194c
Optionally you may change the color #4f194c
in above command with any color or you may replace the color \#4f194c
with an absolute path of the Image if you wish an Image as background.
For reverting back to normal
Run the command
sudo ./focalgdm3 --reset
The above works only for login screen.. and not for lock screen, to use the same theme file for lock screen, we need to configure it separately.
Configuring the same file for lockscreen
copy the gresource file used for login screen with below command to system default folder
sudo cp /usr/local/share/gnome-shell/theme/custom/custom-gnome-shell-theme.gresource /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/
$ ls /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/
custom-gnome-shell-theme.gresource gnome-shell-theme.gresource
$
Now to get away the changes we are doing from system upgrades.. make a local copy of the file /usr/share/gnome-shell/modes/ubuntu.json
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/gnome-shell/modes
cp /usr/share/gnome-shell/modes/ubuntu.json /usr/local/share/gnome-shell/modes
Open the file ubuntu.json
sudo -H gedit /usr/local/share/gnome-shell/modes/ubuntu.json
Now edit the ubuntu.json
file to use our login screen gdm3.css
file with below content..
{
"parentMode": "user",
"stylesheetName": "gdm3.css",
"themeResourceName": "theme/Yaru/custom-gnome-shell-theme.gresource",
"debugFlags": ["backtrace-crashes-all"],
"enabledExtensions": ["[email protected]", "[email protected]", "desktop-icons@csoriano"]
}
Now reboot to see the changes..
To revert back to normal, remove the two files we created for lock screen purpose..
sudo rm /usr/local/share/gnome-shell/modes/ubuntu.json /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/custom-gnome-shell-theme.gresource
