Description kavol 2013-05-30 22:26:12 UTC

I wanted to try razor-qt. It uses lightdm with its own lightdm-razor-greeter.
But lightdm refused to start saying it cannot load /usr/share/xgreeters/lightdm-gtk-greeter.desktop
After symlinking lightdm-razor-greeter.desktop to lightdm-gtk-greeter.desktop, it seems to work without any problem.
Please fix this hardcoded dependency (I wasn't able to find any *-gtk-* requirement in /etc/lightdm configfiles).

Reproducible: Always

There is nothing to fix.

If you want to change your greeter follow the instructions here
