Since one of the latest updates lightdm greeter does not show any users for login
on my laptop the issue is obvious: when the greeter starts, it shows the user list shortly, then the background is "reloaded" or loaded on top as the final result, the greeter is not visible. Attaching screenshot. Look at the right upper corner. the Problem arises, if a second monitor is attached!
You forgot to attach the screenshot!

Thanks. (In reply to Marc Krämer from comment #0) > Since one of the latest updates lightdm greeter does not show any users for > login Lightdm itself is essentially unchanged for years, so some other update must be responsible. If you know exactly when this started - you will have noticed at once - you can find out what updates preceded it from: $ rpm -qa --last | less Can you look at that?
not sure what package could have caused it. Since I don't reboot too often. There are too many updates. And maybe this does not happen everytime. In theory it must be one of the following: microcode-0.20240312-1.mga9.nonfree.noarch Di 09 Apr 2024 12:06:07 CEST lib64uuid-devel-2.38.1-1.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 12:06:06 CEST lib64bpf1-6.6.22-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:54 CEST lib64uv1-1.44.2-2.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:53 CEST lib64tiff6-4.5.1-1.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:53 CEST kernel-userspace-headers-6.6.22-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:53 CEST python3-scipy-1.9.1-2.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:51 CEST lib64blkid-devel-2.38.1-1.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:51 CEST lib64qpdf29-11.9.0-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:43 CEST lib64python3-devel-3.10.11-1.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:43 CEST grub2-mageia-theme-2.06-28.2.mga9.noarch Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:43 CEST ffmpeg-5.1.4-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:43 CEST util-linux-2.38.1-1.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:42 CEST kernel-desktop-latest-6.6.22-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:42 CEST curl-7.88.1-4.3.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:42 CEST texlive-20220321-7.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:41 CEST lib64texlua5-20220321-7.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:38 CEST lib64synctex2-20220321-7.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:38 CEST lib64smartcols1-2.38.1-1.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:37 CEST lib64curl4-7.88.1-4.3.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:37 CEST kernel-desktop-6.6.22-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:37 CEST lib64avfilter8-5.1.4-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:26 CEST cpupower-6.6.22-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:26 CEST lib64dav1d6-1.2.1-1.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:25 CEST lib64avformat59-5.1.4-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:25 CEST lib64avcodec59-5.1.4-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:25 CEST lib64python2.7-stdlib-2.7.18-15.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:24 CEST python-2.7.18-15.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:21 CEST lib64python2.7-2.7.18-15.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:21 CEST firefox-de-115.9.1-1.mga9.noarch Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:21 CEST firefox-115.9.1-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:20 CEST thunderbird-115.9.0-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:35:09 CEST thunderbird-de-115.9.0-1.mga9.noarch Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:58 CEST nss-3.99.0-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:58 CEST lib64nss3-3.99.0-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:58 CEST python3-docs-3.10.11-1.2.mga9.noarch Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:56 CEST lib64mount1-2.38.1-1.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:56 CEST lib64fdisk1-2.38.1-1.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:56 CEST lib64python3.10-testsuite-3.10.11-1.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:52 CEST tkinter3-3.10.11-1.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:46 CEST lib64ptexenc1-20220321-7.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:45 CEST lib64kpathsea6-20220321-7.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:45 CEST lib64gnutls30-3.8.4-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:45 CEST grub2-2.06-28.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:45 CEST grub2-common-2.06-28.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:43 CEST lib64swscaler6-5.1.4-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:42 CEST lib64python3.10-stdlib-3.10.11-1.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:42 CEST lib64postproc56-5.1.4-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:42 CEST lib64python3.10-3.10.11-1.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:38 CEST python3-3.10.11-1.2.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:37 CEST lib64uuid1-2.38.1-1.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:37 CEST lib64swresample4-5.1.4-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:37 CEST lib64sqlite3_0-3.40.1-1.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:37 CEST lib64blkid1-2.38.1-1.1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:37 CEST lib64avutil57-5.1.4-1.mga9.x86_64 Di 09 Apr 2024 11:34:37 CEST But this does not look very likely. So my guess is, it happens only sometimes. And only if 2 monitors are attached (which is not always the case at my pc).
"Since one of the latest updates" [written 22 May] Thanks for the list, but as you say, it does not help. Those updates were long ago. "only if 2 monitors are attached" Does the LightDM login dialogue appear on both, or just the first? Can you try another display manager like LXDM, to see how that functions with 2 monitors?

The login dialog is hidden behind a mageia image loaded afterwards; you may see it in the attachment. > Can you try another display manager like LXDM, to see how that functions > with 2 monitors? Already using gdm
Good man. Assigning globally, but CC'ing Jani who used to deal with this in the hope he can look at it. (In fact, the package has just been version updated).
