Public bug reported:

The Host-Name and the clock in the Lubuntu 17.04 LightDM Greeter panel
are either the same color as the background, or are almost so - it is
impossible to read them, but it is - barely - possible to tell that they
ARE there.

I have looked in the  Properties->Installed Files  for the package, and discovered the file:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf (and then found the apparently (originally) identical /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/30_lubuntu.conf file in my File Manager - Nemo.

The only Panel options (changeable with "sudo lightdm-gtk-greeter-
settings") are "panel-position", "clock-format", and "indicators", so I
assume that the font-related aspects are derived from Appearance: theme-
name.

This defaults to "Lubuntu-default".

The only other option is "Lubuntu-dark-panel".  This sounds promising,
and I have now set it to that, but have not yet logged out or in to see
if that solves the problem.

I will report back to say if it is now fixed or not.

As defaulted, it is impossible to read.

I note that the Panel Font is Ubuntu Regular - 0.  I assume the 0 means
"get actual font height from somewhere else"
