How to return the login screen of the original unity ubuntu?
I've installed the LightDM GTK+ Greeter 1.7.0 as below
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lightdm-gtk-greeter-team/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter
(http://www.smdavis.us/2013/12/28/lightdm-gtk-greeter-1-7-0-released/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lightdm-gtk-greeter-1-7-0-released&utm_reader=feedly)
Now I want to return to the original login screen of unity ubuntu. Please show me a way. Tasks done but have no result:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:lightdm-gtk-greeter-team/stable.
sudo apt-fast remove lightdm-gtk-greeter
sudo apt-fast install --reinstall lightdm.
Solution 1:
First purge the package and remove the PPA.
sudo apt-get purge lightdm-gtk-greeter*
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:lightdm-gtk-greeter-team/stable
sudo apt-get update
Then edit the file that reads the greeter.
gksudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-ubuntu.conf
change this line greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
to this greeter-session=unity-greeter
if the line above does not exist, add it.
if above file/path does not exits (depends on Ubuntu version) try this one
gksudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Then reconfigure both DM and greeter
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm unity-greeter
Reboot your PC.
Solution 2:
Edit your /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
file, and make sure that the greeter-session is set to unity-greeter, so there has to be a line like the following:
greeter-session=unity-greeter
