Funny thing, I installed lightdm (with --no-install-recommends), and tried it, but it won't work. It wouldn't even start manually.
Anyways, after I removed lightdm and then rebooted. Now gdm starts on boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1328820 Title: GDM doesn't start on boot Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've install Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 on a machine, and when it boots, it remains stuck on plymouth animation screen. When I press CTRL+ALT+F1, I can login from tty1. When I checked the :0-greeter.log I found some bunch of errors.
