Description rpansky 2014-10-23 17:25:52 UTC

lightdm-1.8.5 with lightdm-gtk-greeter-1.6.1 still shows the user list when I set

[LightDM]

greeter-hide-users=true

in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.

The following post also seems relevant:

Does this happen with the latest version as well?

Comment 2 rpansky 2014-11-20 22:23:17 UTC

Indeed, the issue was my fault rather than any bug:

greeter-hide-users=true 

should be set under

[SeatDefaults]

instead of 

[LightDM]

(where the option was documented so misleadingly).

This works both with lightdm-1.8.5 and lightdm-1.11.9 (the latest one I have tested).

Sorry for the confusion created.
