I am wondering if there is an option for adding and showing a user photo in LightDM ?

  • I'd love that feature, but I fear lightdm might be a little immature for that yet. Hope I'm wrong. Someone? – duffydack Oct 21 '11 at 21:46

    I haven't seen an easy option but light dm does have a greeter API , which mentions getting user profile pics. So it just takes someone to create a new greeter for lightdm.conf I think! Not found any myself yet other than this . – kikixx Oct 21 '11 at 22:09
  • Do you want to change the user photo that you see after a lock screen or provide one at the login screen? – Mark Rooney Oct 21 '11 at 23:34
  • Yes, I would like to see a photo (user account) at the login screen. – Vincenzo Oct 22 '11 at 06:10
  • Did you solve your question? – pl1nk Jun 24 '12 at 22:09

It sure looks like it is possible:

No idea how, though.
