How to enable manual logins?

Legacy Netrunner 14.x
1

Hello, I’m just testing Netrunner and I’m also a new KDE user.
To enable manual logins in Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity), I just edit the file /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf, and add the line:

greeter-show-manual-login=true

How can I do this for Netrunner?

First you will need to determine the Desktop Manger your using.
For SDDM: System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Login screen > Advanced tab
For KDM: System Settings > Other > Login Screen > Convenience tab

Hello and thanks for your reply.
But, on System Settings > Startup and Shutdown, I have 3 options: Autostart, Login Screen (LightDM) and Session Management.
I couldn’t find any option to enable manual logins and there’s no “Advanced tab” in Login Screen (LightDM), only options to change theme and enable guest /autologin.

Hi bob,
Login Manager for Netrunner 14 is lightdm-kde, which does not support manual mode yet.
For N15, we look into changing from lightdm to sddm, which we already use in our Rolling version.
