change login window

[left reef]

I already made a ticket for this before

can anyone help me please?

I have set gdm3 as my display manager. However, the login window (that appears after closing the lid and opening again), still looks like the stock linuxmint lightdm one. How do I change that?

Anyone here?

Thanks, but that is basically the thing I had before. When I lock my system, it still goes to my old login window.

that command Cast shows should do the trick.

Yes yes I already did that. My display manager is gdm already. When I sign out, it runs GDM. But when I am logged into Cinnamon and for example just close the lid and open it back up again WITHOUT logging out, it's still the old interface (No GDM)

so u did the -f thing as he says?

i have an idea

[left reef]

yep

[teal bear]

do you WANT it to require a password when resuming from lid close?

cuz u could just disable that and it should awaken from suspend

and be on desktop

and as far as screenlocking goes, u could DISABLE Mint's own screenlocker, and install Xscreensaver (which for example can do a slideshow of nice photos from a designated directory) and it has its own 'require password' to get back to desktop

[left reef]

no

[left reef]

well thats cool

lets do that

[teal bear]

just type 'screensaver' in start menu now

[left reef]

yes?

[teal bear]

change delay to never

and turn off lock on sleep (suspend)

[left reef]

done

[teal bear]

so if u have ur pc set to suspend on lid close now, it should just be back to desktop on lid re-open now

[left reef]

yep just did that

[teal bear]

u may still manually lock the pc with ctrl-alt-L if needed

or the symbol in start menu
