Add config option to skip selecting user/session

Resolves #57 and resolves #33.

Hey,
I've tried his PR after merging it to main locally and everything works as expected using Hyprland as a compositor.
Any plan to merge and release this PR ?

Unfortunately, this is blocked on me figuring out a way to handle the case when the user doesn't have a password set. Right now, the user is automatically logged into their last session, and there would be no way for them to change their session (unless they change the config to disable this feature). You can check the discussion on the issue page: #57.

Just a question but why would a user not have a password set?

[Norlock]

Have you thought about letting this set the user in the config.toml? Something like ask_password = false .

Who knows why? It's part of the spec, so I have to handle it.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

[Norlock]

I mean the PR already kind of does this, let the user set it in config or remember after first login if you want to show the password field immediately or not. You don't need to derive it from some command or something where you need extra privileges

Bump

I would like to see this merged in

Hi! I’ve started using ReGreet and came across this PR. Is this still something you’re planning to merge, or has it stalled? I was considering implementing something similar myself, but noticed this already exists, so I wanted to check before duplicating work.

[rogervn]

Is this still blocked or did the PR get abandoned with no hopes of coming back?

This would be quite a nice feature.

[rharish101]

Sorry guys, I finally found time to work on it. I've now fixed the issue that blocked me: if the skip_selection config is enabled and the last logged-in user is passwordless, ReGreet won't automatically log them in directly without a chance to change their user or session.

Can people who are still interested test it out and let me know if it works for them?

[Cryoniq]

Works fine for me. Tested on virtualbox vm, archlinux.

Cloned skip_selection branch, built release with full features enabled, installed it.
Then, created user without password.
After system boot, ReGreet shows a regular window with user and session selection if the last logged-in user is passwordless.
And if the last logged-in user has password, then it auto-selects the last session and shows password prompt from the beginning.

Please push it to the main branch soon :)
