= Displaying a user prompt instead of a list of users on the GNOME login screen
To show a user prompt on the GNOME login screen, open a terminal and perform the following steps:
. Create a file for the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) configuration.
+
----
$ sudo mkdir /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d
----
+
----
$ vim /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/01-hide-users
----
. In a text editor of your choice, `vim` in this example, insert the following content to the `/etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/01-hide-users` file:
+
----
[org/gnome/login-screen]
banner-message-enable=true
banner-message-text='ENTER ANY MESSAGE YOU WANT HERE. FOR A NEW LINE USE \n.'
disable-restart-buttons=true
disable-user-list=true
----
+
[NOTE]
--
To not display the banner message, do not include the first and second line. To enable the `Restart` button, do not include the fourth line.
--
+
Save the file and return to the terminal.
. Create another file for GDM configuration.
+
----
$ sudo vim /etc/dconf/profile/gdm
----
+
Insert the following content in the `/etc/dconf/profile/gdm` file:
+
----
user-db:user
system-db:gdm
----
+
Save the file.
. Enter the following command:
+
----
$ sudo dconf update
----
. Check if the command was executed correctly:
+
----
$ ls /etc/dconf/db
----
+
The output should contain the following:
+
----
gdm gdm.d ... [output truncated]
----
. Restart GDM for the changes to take effect.
+
----
$ sudo systemctl restart gdm
----
