Here I don't even touch what's inside the indicators box, only the toggle. I/m running l-g-g-settings through pkexec, in case that matters. Regards, -- Yves-Alexis

Hi Yves-Alexis, It might be helpful to include the contents of /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/*, as well as the lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf before and after attempting to modify it using l-g-g-s. Toggling the "Redefine indicators" option seems to work fine here with a single conf file and with a split setup: I tested briefly by copying my background entry from lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf into a new file under /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/. That said, I haven't tried the external indicators feature as I'm honestly not sure how to set it up - I don't know if there even are relevant indicator libs on my system.

Package: lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings Version: 1.2.2-1 Severity: important Hi, I tried lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings and it seems that it somehow doesn't work. I ran i through pkexec, did some adjustement (mainly tried to enable indicators), the only result was that it truncated /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf. I've set the severity “only” to important in case there's something specific in my configuration, but truncating the one configuration file the package is supposed to handle looks RC to me if the bug is confirmed. As a side note, I have a local configuration in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/10_user.conf, I'm unsure if that would confuse l-g-g-settings or not. If you need more information, please ask.
