[Steven Groves]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.10.1-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
I wanted to have the list of users shown at login
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I edited lightdm.conf to "greeter-hide-users = false
   * What was the outcome of this action?
no effect

I also tried to change other settings,
  allow guest
  and autologin
there was no effect with these changes also
