Logging in does not work

[Seltyk]

So I finally got it to run as intended, but now I have a new problem. Putting in any password - any at all, real or fake - then hitting enter will lock the password box and do nothing. Backing up to the "press enter/space" menu will clear and unlock the password box, but regardless there's neither a login nor a notification that the password is incorrect.

Sidenote: the animations are extremely laggy (to the point of slowing the entire greeter down) on my machine, despite working fine on the live test site

I once had such a lag, it was because i had no proper graphical driver, it worked very fine when i installed the right one despite being on a simple pentium chipset.

I use simple CSS transitions, if you don't find any way to fix the lag i'll add a way to disable animations.

About the login issue, it looks like an issue with your lightdm webkit version, i'll need lightdm logs to know.

The proprietary drivers I'm using don't run until logged in, but the nouveau drivers don't do well with games...

Here you go

Can't do anything for your graphical drivers, i'll add an option to disable animations.
For the logs, it looks like the theme is trying to log you with no username, it's very strange.

On the login screen, at the bottom of the avatar, should be displayed "<Display name> / <username>", do you have your username displayed ?

If you do, then it may be because of a different lightdm-webkit version, don't you have a log file such as /var/log/lightdm/seat-0.log or /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log ? It's where javascript console is, and also some other useful informations.

[Seltyk]

Sorry for the delay, got very busy. Here's seat0-greeter.log; doesn't appear too useful but if it helps you then by all means have fun

[Litarvan]

Very strange, as i said probably an issue with your lightdm version. What distro are you using ? Do you have it up to date ? Also, can you tell me about your username being displayed as I said in my previous message ?

[Seltyk]

I'm running Void, and I've confirmed everything is up-to-date. The username and profile image are displayed as expected.

[Litarvan]

I'm kinda stuck here. It may be, too much up to date ? I mean it definetely looks like the webkit API changed, which version of lightdm webkit do you have ? (It does not work with the web-greeter next).

Could you test from your desktop from a terminal ? Enable debug_mode in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm-webkit.conf, and launch lightdm-webkit2-greeter from a terminal, and open the dev tools console. Login and then try to send me any strange output.

This appear to be linked to the blur lags issue. 3.2.0 added a 'blur settings' view where you can tweak it as you need, it will probably fix your issue. Please let me know if it's still there.
