UKUI-GREETER(8)

💖 UKUI-GREETER — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the ukui-greeter manual page, straight outta the System Manager's Manual section 8 (that's the sysadmin club, very main character energy). she's a little program, she's a LightDM greeter for the UKUI desktop, and she's about to make your login screen look ✨immaculate✨. grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

ukui-greeter — a LightDM greeter for the UKUI desktop, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ukui-greeter

that's it. that's the whole invocation. she takes no args, she needs no args, she simply is 🧚

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, UKUI Greeter is a LightDM greeter for the UKUI desktop. it's giving "the pretty face you see before you log in." 🫶

the way that it works is: she does not launch herself, okay? LightDM — the display manager, the actual boss — is the one who runs her. and it only does that if it's configured in lightdm.conf. so if you're out here running ukui-greeter manually and wondering why nothing's clicking... that's a config thing, not a you thing. 😭

tl;dr: LightDM daemon + correct lightdm.conf = greeter appears. icon behaviour. periodt. 👑
