I'd like to change the keyboard configuration of the login manager of Ubuntu Mate, and for this I need to find the configuration file.

But I don't know what is the login manager.

So what is the ubuntu-mate login manager, or where can I find this info ?

EDIT: My problem is different as the one suggested, because none of theses solutions work for me.

  • hum... I'm just asking for the name of the graphical tool which is used to login in Ubuntu-mate. So I don't know what kind of reference you want, and I don't have any terminal outputs. For the screen-shot I thought to make one, but I don't know how to do this in the login screen. Thanks ;) – Phantom Feb 23 '16 at 15:00

  • POSSIBLE ^ Not sure if changes were made between releases of Ubuntu. Please try that solution, and if it works, we will close this question – David Feb 23 '16 at 15:05
  • @Phantom you should be able to tell what login manager it is simply by looking at the image you see ;-) – Rinzwind Feb 23 '16 at 15:09
  • @Rinzwind, I'm sorry if I don't know all login managers, and all of there themes – Phantom Feb 24 '16 at 15:46
  • @Phantom oh there are not that many. All our versions probably all use lightdm so that is 1 ;-) – Rinzwind Feb 24 '16 at 15:47

Basic info on configuring LightDM: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM

And the following page explains how to change keyboard layout on the login screen (Lightdm GTK+ Greeter) in Ubuntu MATE: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/how-to-set-keyboard-layout-on-login-screen/1405

So, in Lightdm GTK+ Greeter Settings > Panel you can add the keyboard layout indicator by which you can change the default keyboard layout:

enter image description here

Also, add the following lines to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf in order to set default keyboard layout (French in this example):

[Seat:*]
display-setup-script = setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout fr
