Hello,

I am attempting to use ayatana-indicator-power to show battery percent/status on the lightdm-gtk-greeter login page, but having trouble getting it to work. I am on debian stable/trixie.

I found a page on the ayatana indicators transition for Debian, but the status for lightdm-gtk-greeter there has not been updated since 2018: https://wiki.debian.org/Ayatana/IndicatorsTransition#Package:_lightdm-gtk-greeter

I would guess that, 8 years later, the transition is probably complete and that page just didn't get updated?

After setting "indicators=power" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf , pstree shows that a process called ayatana-indicator-power is launched by systemd while I'm at the greeter screen. That process isn't launched without "indicators=power" in the config file, so looks like lightdm-gtk-greeter is trying to launch and use the ayatana indicator. But the indicator doesn't actually display on the lightdm-gtk-greeter login screen.

Is this something that's supposed to work (if so, I'll put in a bug report)? Or are ayatana indicators still not officially supported by lightdm-gtk-greeter yet?

Thanks,
Kat
