[Solved] LXDM Face Icons doesn't work on ArchLinux

Post by lodger »

Hi,
if I launch "lxdm-config" and I change my face icon it doesn't work. in LXDM menu it keeps the anonymous face:
Image
I tried to rename my icon (96x96) in "/home/pippo/.face" but it still doesn't work.

why? :cry:

instead you should copy a different image to ~/.face.
or, if you want no face at all, crate an empty 1x1 px image and move it to ~/.face

I partially solved:

I have set read access right to my home directory for "other" and now the user face is appeared!

Code: Select all

$ ls -l /home
totale 12
drwx------  8 pluto pluto 4096 23 mag 17.45 pluto
drwx---r-x 19 pippo pippo  4096 25 mag 12.21 pippo
drwx------  8 minnie minnie  4096 25 mag 12.18 minnie
(I'm pippo)

but I don't like that other users can read my directory. Are there some alternative?

sorry i didn't understand your question.

changing permissions for your complete $HOME like that will most probably create new problems, i do not recommend it.

You should consult your display managers documentation for better solutions. or archwiki, or archlinux forums.

if that does not help either, i suspect that Something Else Went Wrong when you set up your system.
