I've installed a custom indicator called PRIME Indicator and it shows up in the top panel (next to date time etc) after I login.

I would like to show the indicator before login on the unity-greeter lightdm login screen, but I can't figure out how to do it.

I have attempted to use the information provided in the following answer:

Is that possible to add icons to the login screen top-panel?

but PRIME Indicator is not installed in either /usr/lib/indicators3/7/ or /usr/share/unity/indicators/, so I don't know what to do.

I can create an override file like this:

$ /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/myoverride.gschema.override
[com.canonical.unity-greeter]
indicators=['com.canonical.indicator.keyboard', 'com.canonical.indicator.datetime', 'com.canonical.indicator.power', 'com.canonical.indicator.sound', 'application', 'prime']

NOTE: I added a prime entry.

Also, I created a file here:

$ /usr/share/unity/indicators/prime
[Indicator Service]
Name=indicator-prime
ObjectPath=/com/canonical/indicator/prime
Position=50

[desktop] ObjectPath=/com/canonical/indicator/prime/desktop

[phone] ObjectPath=/com/canonical/indicator/prime/phone

[desktop_greeter] ObjectPath=/com/canonical/indicator/prime/desktop

However, this doesn't work because I don't know what the correct ObjectPath should be.

Q1: Is it possible to make PRIME-indicator show before login?

Q2: How do I do it?
