pi-greeter fails with delayed login

Aug 01, 2026 0 Replies

Latest pi os. if I have lightdm set for any delay then the user -- mostly -- is not logged in. A session with chatgpt diagnosed and provided a workaround:



[Seat:*] greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter autologin-user=display autologin-user-timeout=30


Issues are with: dpkg -l lightdm pi-greeter .... ================================= ii lightdm 1.26.0-8+rpt5 arm64 simple display manager ii pi-greeter 0.25 arm64 GTK greeter for Raspberry Pi


Anyone else fallen foul of this?
