lightdm won't start with pantheon-greeter

[charlie45000]

What Happened?

Hello,

I don't use the elementary desktop environment by like the look of the pantheon greeter. I tried to install it, but it refuses to start. the seat logfile of lightdm is in the log output.

With the gtk-greeter, the dbus warning is still there, but the greeter starts anyway. how to avoid this glib error?

I suppose that this is linked to the removal of the background settings since I don't see how to set a backgroud. Is it a bug or am I missing something?

Thank-you for your help!

P.S. I didn't know that "reporting an issue" put the "bug" tag. Since I don't know if it is a bug, it may be a mistake. I appologize for that.

Steps to Reproduce

• install lightdm-pantheon-greeter on an Archlinux fresh install using xorg
• launch lightdm --test-mode --debug in user mode
• the crash should appen and be logged in $HOME/.cache/lightdm/log

Expected Behavior

The greeter should start correctly
