Unable to hide username list in sddm
by edwardp from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QYER)
(Previously asked on Debian User Forums, received no response.)
Running Debian 11 with LXQt, sddm is the desktop manager.
In following the directions in the Debian Wiki for an sddm.conf file to hide users at startup, sddm is not hiding the username. This is on a one-user system.
I placed sddm.conf in: /etc/ first, then in /etc/sddm.conf.d (created) and finally in /usr/lib/sddm.conf.d (created) and upon each reboot, the sddm login screen continued to display the username ('xyz' in the examples below), regardless of where sddm.conf was located.
This was tested with only one username, although the Wiki indicates the list must be comma-separated. So I tried:
Code:[Users]
HideUsers=xyzand
Code:[Users]
HideUsers=xyz,xyzIf the Debian wiki is correct with the file locations for sddm.conf, as well as the file syntax, is there a possible explanation why it's not hiding the username?
Thank you in advance.
