** Description changed: Maybe I'm not seeing it, but there doesn't seem to be a graphical way to set the default desktop environment. If I set login automatically, and I want to use Unity 2D I need to log out of Unity and log back in using Unity 2D. I would suggest that the "User Account" set the preferred desktop for each user. Not sure if this would be able to support LightDM and GDM, KDM, XDM etc. + + Currently, I find that the community lacks in knowledge about LightDM + and how to configure it. + + Let's just say that I can't instruct someone who is frightened by CLI to + edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to read the following: + + [SeatDefaults] + greeter-session=unity-greeter + user-session=ubuntu-2d + autologin-user=confusedgrandmother + + of yourse, you can always change the user-session=ubuntu-2d line to read + another default desktop environment (for the system, not per user). The + environments are listed in /usr/share/xsessions/ - just remember to + remove .desktop suffix. + + gnome + gnome-shell + kde-plasma + Lubuntu + Lubuntu-Netbook + LXDE + openbox + openbox-gnome + openbox-kde + openbox.xsession + ubuntu-2d + ubuntu + xfce + xubuntu We've come a long way from gdm-setup.
