Restore Ubuntu 16.04 Login Screen
I installed Ubuntu Kylin Theme but I want to restore the original login in screen for ubuntu, I tried to uninstall the theme, purge and reinstall the lightdm and also change the default to gdm with dpkg-reconfigure
but I always get the Ubuntu Kylin login screen.
EDIT:
I tried to see the configuration in Ubuntu Tweak but only show the default login screen configuration even showing Ubuntu Kylin when I boot the computer.
Solution 1:
kylin-greeter
is a version of LightDM greeter, and to switch back to the default greeter ( which is unity-greeter
) one must tell lightdm which one to use via configuration file.
What you want to do is edit ( or create if it doesn't exist ) the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Basic steps ( done from terminal )
Open the file with your text editor. You can use
nano
because it's easier.sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
If you have
[SeatDefaults]
line, go to step 3. Otherwise, add this line.Bellow
[SeatDefaults]
addgreeter-session=unity-greeter
line.Save with Ctrl + O. Exit with Ctrl + X .
Reboot, or go into TTY1 ( via Ctrl+Alt+F1 ) , login there and restart lightdm with
sudo service lightdm restart
