On the contrary, the opposite setting is considered (and has been reported as bug already [0][1]) undesireable by other, including myself. Your setup would only work for local users whereas that option being set to "true" would work for everyone.

It is not mentioned in the lightdm man page and there is no lightdm.conf man page. As such, I suggest adding the following to lightdm.conf, which does not change the default in Ubuntu, but does make the option slightly more discoverable: greeter-show-manual-login=false To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1056289/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
