As I’ve said before… YouTube How To videos are mostly useless.
lightdm is not light-locker (which you have a problem with) and it is not the lightdm-webkit2-greeter which was a culprit here
it works just fine and ain’t dead
Hi, I changed “greeter-session=lightdm-webkit2-greeter” to “greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter”, but nothing has changed when I enter the password and press enter the program does not respond.
I had you revert what was done in the video, and you said you did what was done in the video.
And I installed that greeter myself to confirm - and reverted it because it did not work.
At least the greeter, the login screen, should now be looking and behaving as it was before you changed that.
Is it?
Lets see what is actually in your configuration file for lightdm:
grep -v ^# /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
This will only print the lines that are not starting with a # mark
the uncommented lines - the ones which are not default.
You have uninstalled lightdm-wbkit2-greeter and deleted the config file /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf ?
and you have installed lightdm-gtk-greeter and lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings ?
You are shure not having old config files left ?
This is the default:
light-locker
lightdm
lightdm-gtk-greeter
lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings

(When I try to post a link I get message - “Sorry, you can’t include links in your posts.”)
No i have not uninstalled and deleted, but I installed lightdm-gtk-greeter without lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings.
I just deleted the lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf
After removing lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf from /etc/lightdm/ , my screen is blinking
You still have the wrong greeter in your file
look:
greeter-session=lightdm-webkit2-greeter
is what I read there
you did not change it back to
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
No, I changed it
drive .google.com/file/d/1s0LMB2uAscog1D9hDIGUC35-TpniEB56/view?usp=drivesdk
You change it in a comment starting with # which effectively gets ignored.
Use your arrow keys and scroll down.

My mistake. I meant “light-locker” is not maintained for more than 3 years
