Can I replace the default login screen for the Pantheon Greeter?
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and I'd like to know if I can replace the default login screen (Light-DM) for the one used on ELementary OS (Phantheon Greeter). If possible without installing the rest of the Elementary OS desktop.
Solution 1:
Yes, you only need to Install pantheon-greeter
and change the LightDM conf file like so:
-
To get
pantheon-greeter
you'll need to add this PPA, open a terminal and type:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pantheon-greeter elementary-theme fonts-open-sans-elementary fonts-raleway-elementary
- Then open gedit as root, type
gksu gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
- Change the line greeter-session= to look like this
greeter-session=pantheon-greeter
- Log out
