Gnome Shell GDM Greeter in Wheezy
I've been wondering for a while when the Gnome Display Manager Greeter was going to be updated to the Gnome Shell theme that's used in Fedora. I noticed a reference to the greeter.gsettings file in a recent thread at the Debian forum, and decided to have a look at it. For some reason, the Gnome Shell Greeter is not the default. Edit /etc/gdm3/greeter.gsettings so it looks like this to get the Gnome Shell look.
Nope, not for me! I don't even have a /etc/gdm3/greeter.gsettings file, and creating it...
ReplyDelete# session-name='gdm-fallback'
session-name='gdm-shell'
... then restarting gdm3 makes no difference: still 'gdm-fallback' theme.
Hmmm... no idea why the file isn't there, but the full entry you need is:

I'm an idiot: it was a typo on my part in a terminal (/etc/gdm3/greeter.gsettings versus /etc/gdm3/greeter.settings). Only when I 'ls /etc/gdm3' did I realise - two minutes after posting a comment.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, it was as Anonymous. Phew!
Not an idiot, we all make typos! But it sounds like you were typing greeter.settings in full... try using tab completion and life is easier! :)
ReplyDeleteEven if you'd only typed 'g' and , just 2 keypresses, it would probably have been sufficient.
Ooops, I shouldn't have put 'tab' in angle brackets! :( See, we all make mistakes! :) I meant g followed by tab.
