lightdm_greeter_error: Unable to determine socket to daemon #174
Description
Hello,
Specs:
OS: ubuntu 18.04
WM: i3-gaps
I have managed to install successfully through downloading and manually installing as instructed in the wiki and I have all the required dependencies and then I included X-LightDM-Allow-Greeter=true in my desktop file.
when I try to start it using web-greeter I get this error:
2018-09-27 13:16:07 [ DEBUG ] objects - objects.py:124 : _setup_logger | Logger is ready. 2018-09-27 13:16:07 [ DEBUG ] app - app.py:57 : _wh_load_config | Try load config using key: WebGreeter 2018-09-27 13:16:07 [ DEBUG ] window - window.py:78 : _initialize | Initializing Main Window 2018-09-27 13:16:07 [ DEBUG ] __main__ - __main__.py:64 : __init__ | Web Greeter started.

I have enabled logging and the log files are empty.
if there's any more info you need I'd be happy to provide it.
Thanks in advance.
