16. Today I went down the rabbit hole of customizing my laptop and hit a wall trying to add a custom login sound.. I spent a while trying to figure that out with no luck. Is that possible to do on Linux distros? I'm running Fedora 35.

17. Thanks

18. the end result does not look like your really cool custom greeter 😉

    In other news, Scientists have now found a number that's higher than 1.

20. You are fun to watch chris!

21. I really like lightdm… but I think is unnecesary unless you really use it for more than just login to your user and that's it… I use ly it's as fast as you can get and yet I feel it looks great cause it's a simple TUI with the simple functionalities to log to an user and choose the WM it's great but lightdm is the second best or the best if you use more functionalities or are a user intimidated of a black screen ehehe 😛

22. Can I disable the default display manager after setting up lightdm?

23. I need to enable a user guest in my archlinux because My little brother will use my pc and I dont want that he breaks my pc. How can I enable a user guest with lightdm and archlinux?

24. This is supposed to work with Debian/Ubuntu -variants, but I cant get it to work with Pop OS.

    The barebones default lightdm works, but as soon as you try to configure it (according to the way on this video), it crashes on boot.
    Sometimes you can log in with tty5, but sometimes it wont boot at all and I had to use live-USB to mount the drive, chroot into it and then switch back to gdm3.

25. LightDM definitely is not "one of the best DM", because it just sucks on Wayland-only systems. + try to "user friendly" way to configure multiple displays where some of them are in portrait mode and few of them are of different size.

26. This broke my display manager, not sure how to fix it, not sure what to do. Followed the step by step instructions

27. Hey, I did part of this video and realised that it is not for me. I now get an error that says [FAILED] Failed to start Light Display Manager.
    I only did sudo systemctl disable sddm and sudo system ctl enable lightdm.

28. Awesome tutorial! I was looking to get rid of the default login screen and this video helped a lot. Thank you!

29. What linux distro chris are you running arch???

30. <SOLVED> hen trying to enable lightdm on debian it gave the error:
    The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=,
    Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template
    units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
    Please respond quickly as i can't currently shutdown my pc-

31. Jesus that felt complicated

32. I’m a simple man, I just startx

33. After doing this on Fedora 33 rebooted and now just get a blinking cursor..I obviously mucked something up…

34. How do you make lightdm exactly like the login screen on your thumbnail?

35. Can you make a video on how to make your distro look like that?

36. Your ads suck!

37. Not Working for me

38. what's that awesome user session

39. The title is misleading. What does LightDM (or any DM, for X) have to do with Linux (a kernel) specifically?

40. um I might have missed a step or something. it says failed to start: Light Display Manager.

    I'm using the default XFCE of Endeavor OS. will prob switch to cinnamon cause love the virtual display overview but ye.

41. How do you setup this up for dual monitors it only shows it for one.
