If you’re using Debian with XFCE and want your full name (e.g., Mahesh Palamuttath) to appear on the login screen by default, while automatically selecting your username (e.g., mahesh), follow these simple steps:
Steps to Configure:
Edit LightDM Configuration
Open the configuration file:
sudo vim /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Add the following lines under [Seat:*]:
[Seat:*]
greeter-hide-users=false
greeter-show-manual-login=false
greeter-username=mahesh
greeter-username-hidden=false
Set Your Full Name
Update the full name for the user mahesh using:
sudo chfn -f "Mahesh Palamuttath" mahesh
Restart LightDM
Apply the changes by restarting the display manager:
sudo systemctl restart lightdm
Now, the login screen will display Mahesh Palamuttath by default, with the username mahesh pre-selected. You only need to enter your password to log in.
