This issue seems a different one, could you open a new bug?

great to read! you're welcome, so that one was an user config error

you mean from other users? yeah, the bug is a bit confusing because different users joined to raise bugs which were different from the original ones, we apparently get cases where the config list a greeter not installed, it's not clear if those are from users who edited their configuration and then uninstalled the greeter they choosed to use, there is a bug open about having a failsafe mode for those though
