## Greeters
LightDM features the option to choose between many different greeters.
This section focusses on various greeters.
The greeter can be set with the option `greeter-session` under the section `[Seat:*]` in the file
`/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf`.
This will look similar to the following line.
```txt
[Seat:*]
greeter-session=lightdm-mini-greeter
```
If no `greeter-session` is set the default will fall back to the
[LightDM-GTK-Greeter](#lightdm-gtk-greeter).
### LightDM-GTK-Greeter
The [LightDM-GTK-Greeter](https://github.com/Xubuntu/lightdm-gtk-greeter) is the default greeter
for LightDM.
### LightDM-Mini-Greeter
[LightDM-Mini-Greeter](https://github.com/prikhi/lightdm-mini-greeter) is a minimal, single-user
greeter.
For the LightDM-Mini-Greeter to work correctly some settings have to be set in the file
`/etc/lightdm/lightdm-mini-greeter.conf`.
The following lines show an example of this file.
The most important changes have been done to set the `user` under `[greeter]`
and `background-image` under `[greeter-theme]`.
The background image path can vary, but lightdm has to be able to access the
image.

# Ly
[Ly](https://github.com/fairyglade) is a lightweight console UI
[display manager](/wiki/linux/display_managers.md).
## Setup
On most linux distributions Ly can be installed with the `ly` package.
This setup needs an executable `~/.xinitrc` file.
If you are not sure about it, use the tests provided in the penultimate step.
Before finishing the setup the functionality should be tested.
This can be done by using one or both of the following commands.
```sh
systemctl start ly.service
```
Finally the [SystemD](/wiki/linux/systemd.md) Ly service needs to be enabled and reboot the
system.
```sh
systemctl enable ly.service`
reboot
```
