Asked by Dan Kortschak

Say you didn't want to display a list of users. How would you go about disabling the chooser and requiring the user to enter their user name?

This isn't exactly an issue with the unity-greeter, but moreso lightdm. If you don't want the list of users to be displayed you need to change the lightdm.conf, which should be found in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf. Simply add the following lines and then restart:

greeter-hide-users=true
greeter-show-manual-login=true

Can you help with this problem?
