Bothered by kde greeter on MATE

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Everytime I login into MATE I get bothered by kde greeter. Unlike in KDE where the greeter shows up only first login, in MATE it shows up everytime.

I know I can close it by simple mouse click, but is it possible to disable this thing being showing up at every login?

I don’t recall that ever showing up on my MATE systems. Or, if it did show up, it went away so quickly that I have forgotten.

Install 1: installed minimal X. Added the MATE pattern after install (and a few other packages).
Install 2: Installed KDE, Gnome, XFCE, LXDE. Added the MATE pattern after install.
Install 3: Used “linux for education” iso (openSUSE-Edu-li-f-e.x86_64-13.2.1.iso) which includes MATE.

Hi
Maybe a desktop file in ~/.config/autostart directory?

Installed openSUSE 13.2 from installation DVD with KDE. Later installed other DEs (which includes MATE) by their pattern.

Nice idea. But

akash@akash:~> ls ~/.config/autostart/
gmixer-trayicon.desktop  mate-volume-control-applet.desktop

In MATE Control Centre > Startup Applications

  • Backup Monitor
  • Certificate and Key Storage
  • GPG Password Agent
  • MATE Settings Daemon
  • Network
  • openSUSE
  • Orca screen reader
  • PackageKit Update Applet
  • Personal File Sharing webdav
  • PolicyKit Authentication Agent
  • Power Manager
  • Print Queue Applet
  • PulseAudio Sound System
  • Screensaver
  • Secret Storage Service
  • SSH Key Agent
  • Touchpad
  • Zeitgeist Datahub

OK. found the culprit. Description of openSUSE has command

SUSEgreeter -caption "%c" %i %m

Disabling openSUSE launcher from Startup Applications
Logged out and logged in back. Bingo. Problem Solved :slight_smile:

Malcolm thank you for the hint. :stuck_out_tongue:
