ligthtdm webkit greeter

After spending hours (days!) troubleshooting the lightdm webkit greeter which would just show a mouse cursor on a black screen, I decided to start from scratch on my home machine. Re-installed Ubuntu MATE, configured lightdm webkit greeter and got ... the same result.

Just by chance I noticed the greeter on my laptop screen, which usually has the lid closed ... d'oh ... This is the hard way to find out that the webkit greeter only uses a single monitor.

Found the relevant info searching the net:
  1. Need to get the display IDs using xrandr, HDMI-3 in my case
  2. Modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf: Add display-setup-script=xrandr --output HDMI-3 --primary to the [Seat:*] section.
Done!

Working with OSX El Capitan Mouse Cursors

The OSX El Capitan mouse cursors is my favorite theme at the moment. There are two drawbacks, however: The theme doesn't install from the KDE control panel (it comes with an installer script which you have to run manually). The theme seems to be incomplete I finally addressed those issues... Install the Cursor Scheme Download the theme (most current version) from gnome-look.org . Extract it and copy it so that is available for all users, especially for the login screen: t ar xvjf ~/Downloads/OSX-ElCap-\(KDE\).R2.tar.bz2  sudo mv OSX-ElCap-\(KDE\)/OSX-ElCap /usr/share/icons/ sudo chown -R root:root /usr/share/icons/OSX-ElCap/ Fix Missing Cursors I wrote a small Python script to create the missing links. I might add another few links in the future and I didn't want to have a ln -s cascade somewhere. Instead, I prefer adding another key/value pair to a hashmap and let the script do all the work... #!/bin/python import os, sys CURSOR_THEME = "/usr/share/

Hello Manjaro KDE - Instructions Part 1 Done!

Bild
Looking back at the configuration it didn't seem to be that much. However, when writing up all the steps, taking screenshots, taking care of every detail, I soon discovered that I will need more than one page to describe all the customization. Anyway, I just finished  part 1 if making (Manjaro) KDE look like macOS. Have a look and maybe you'll try it yourself...

Good Bye Ubuntu MATE - Hello Manjaro KDE

Bild
I have customized Ubuntu MATE to look like MacOS for quite a while now. I found a comment on Gnome Look including a lovely screenshot of a panel. This one is looking far better, especially the notification area: So, now I'm working on customizing Manjaro KDE. Made good progress so far - once I'm done I'll provide detailed instructions, just as I did for Ubuntu MATE . Update: Here is the first part of making (Manjaro) KDE look like macOS .
