How to get Pantheon Greeter on Ubuntu 14.04 instead of Unity Greeter

Question

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, how can I replace the lockscreen with the one on Elementary Luna (Pantheon-Greeter). Thank You!!

Edit: Can anyone do it and confirm it works completely?

Solution

To install Pantheon Greeter on Ubuntu 14.04,Open terminal and run the commands:

Since libgranite3 (>= 0.2.0) missing in 14.04,so we need the following PPA as well.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/os-patches  
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install pantheon-greeter

Note:
After installation remove ppa's:

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:elementary-os/os-patches
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:elementary-os/stable
sudo apt-get update

Note: Tested and working. refer here

For settings I found a similar link refer Can I replace the default login screen for the Pantheon Greeter?

It says E: Package 'fonts-open-sans' has no installation candidate E: Package 'fonts-raleway' has no installation candidate E: Package 'notify-osd-icons-elementary' has no installation candidate

yes, the pantheon-greeter works, but it doesnt look like what elementary os has completely

fonts-open-sans fonts-raleway are not available

Add the stable repository. I think it will solve the problem sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pantheon-greeter elementary-theme fonts-open-sans fonts-raleway elementary-icon-theme notify-osd-icons-elementary

[user276752]

it still does not exist

Try to download and manually install fonts

It bricked my installation and I couldn't boot anymore, can you confirm that it works for you?
