LightDM doesn't load greeter in Fedora 36 Cinnamon about nody-greeter

[JezerM]

Your error is here:

#greeter-session=nody-greeter

You must remove the comment symbol #, like this:

greeter-session=nody-greeter

However, it's known to not be working in Fedora for some weird and incomprehensible reasons, as stated in #16 and JezerM/web-greeter#19.

Ok so I've made some progress. I took your advice and removed the #. At first, lightdm did not load a greeter at all, and then I added a file called nody-greeter.conf in my /etc/lightdm/ directory. I put one line in it, [greeter]. Now when I run lightdm --test-mode it works as expected, but it still doesn't work on startup.

Here's where I'm at:

and then I added a file called nody-greeter.conf in my /etc/lightdm/ directory.

This is not needed, and this file doesn't even exist neither it does not fulfill a purpose.

but it still doesn't work on startup.

Yeah, as expected (though it's unexpected), web-greeter and nody-greeter doesn't work in Fedora for unknown reasons.

Hi, I recently added some new changes that fixes this issue at the latest commit d115ae8, the same as JezerM/web-greeter#19. You could try to build it and tell me if it works~
