(Get the code!)
In the mean time, I have been able to get a login screen where you can actually type a username.
However, problems remain.
PROBLEMS:
-------------
1. Instead of `Type your username´ or `Welcome to Ubuntu´ or something like that, the login screen
now reads `Other...´. Do you think that some hundreds of students and scientist are going to understand what this `Other...´ means? It looks ridiculous, and they will ridicule the sysadmins if I would leave it like that.
How can I get rid of this stupid `Other...´ string, and configure it to say `Username:´ or something like that?
2. After login, there appears no desktop. The screen stays black. This is in KVM, with the cirrus driver. I tried both the normal ubuntu and the ubuntu 2D session. Now this could possibly be a separate bug, non-related to lightdm, so I may have to report it separately. I suspect that if you use existing user accounts, without copying over the skel files, the unity shell will not work.
Which is of course the normal situation with workstations with NFS mounted /home.
