You need to run this 'dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' and choose 'lightdm', and you can show this by 'leafpad /etc/X11/default-display-manager' which should also show 'lightdm'. Then amend 'leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf' to show ;- [LightDM] start-default-seat=true greeter-user=lightdm minimum-display-number=0 minimum-vt=7 user-authority-in-system-dir=false guest-account-script=guest-account log-directory=/var/log/lightdm run-directory=/var/run/lightdm cache-directory=/var/cache/lightdm xsessions-directory=/usr/share/xsessions xgreeters-directory=/usr/share/xgreeters
[SeatDefaults] #xserver-command=X #xserver-layout= #xserver-config= xserver-allow-tcp=false #xdmcp-manager= #xdmcp-port=177 #xdmcp-key= greeter-session=lightdm-greeter greeter-hide-users=true greeter-allow-guest=false greeter-show-manual-login=true user-session=default allow-guest=false guest-session=UNIMPLEMENTED session-wrapper=/etc/X11/Xsession #display-setup-script= #greeter-setup-script= #session-setup-script= #session-cleanup-script= autologin-guest=false autologin-user= autologin-user-timeout=0 #autologin-session=UNIMPLEMENTED exit-on-failure=false Save, and then reboot, and it should set you up with lightdm as your login client. Good luck Sharon.
