Hide Forgot
Description of problem: I have `greeter-hide-users=true` in my `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf` file. The KDE greeter displays all of the accounts on the system despite that setting. I have about 3000 accounts on the system, so that isn't the most usable situation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lightdm-1.8.5-2.fc20.x86_64 lightdm-kde-0.3.2.1-5.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use lightdm.conf as shown below, especially with respect to the `greeter-session` and `greeter-hide-users` settings. 2. Start lightdm. Actual results: Users are displayed in a horizontal list, which must be dragged to get to the desired account. Expected results: The greeter should have a text entry box into which the username is typed. Additional info: Here's what my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file has in it: [LightDM] minimum-vt=1 user-authority-in-system-dir=true [SeatDefaults] xserver-command=X -background none greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter greeter-hide-users=true greeter-show-manual-login=true user-session=mate allow-guest=false session-wrapper=/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession [XDMCPServer] enabled=false [VNCServer] enabled=false
I think you'll have to configure accountsservice to hide those
It's not that I want specific accounts to be hidden from the list of users. I just don't want the list of users in the first place; instead, I want an ordinary text box that people can type their usernames into. For comparison, take a look at the GTK greeter. When `greeter-hide-users` is set to `false` (and `greeter-show-manual-login` is also set to `false`; the default settings), it has a drop-down list containing all of the users in the system. When `greeter-hide-users` is set to `true` (and `greeter-show-manual-login` is also `true`), the GTK greeter has a text field instead of the drop-down. The KDE greeter should honor those settings in the same way.

Perhaps not the exact same issue - but I was enable to select any other users than the one lightdm-kde decided to display despite changing greeter-hide-users and greeter-show-manual-login. I use sssd with ldap backend for users.
Filed upstream.
