I'd like to hide the user list on my Ubuntu Trusty login page.

This page tells me that I should set up a configuration in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d, and call it whatever I want. This does not work, and the page has a disconcerting message saying that Ubuntu is no longer testing LightDM. (But according to /etc/X11/default-display-manager, I'm using /usr/sbin/lightdm.)

This page tells me to create a configuration in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, which also does not work.

Your answer from Jun 10 at 15:42 has a typo: you need to insert greeter-hide-users=true (not "false")

The following config worked for me:

[SeatDefaults] greeter-session=unity-greeter greeter-hide-users=true greeter-show-manual-login=true

looks like the correct place to change it is in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d

I edited 50-ubuntu.conf and put my settings in there. (If you set greeter-hide-users=false, make sure you set greeter-show-manual-login=true !)

Once you have done it, run "sudo restart lightdm" to restart Ubuntu.
