I've looked and looked for an answer - but I like Ubuntu's login manager, and can't figure out how to change lubuntu's to it.

I've installed Unity using these instructions: How do I install LXDE / Lubuntu?, but can't do that with the login window! Help, I'm a newbie!

P.S. I have Lubuntu installed on a USB key - hence, I don't want Ubuntu as the main install, but just for tinkering from time to time.

You can install it just by sudo apt-get install lightdm lightdm-greeter-example-gtk. In order to have a better view, have a look at this wiki.

  • Thank you! I saw that, but I it's still not working. If I use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm", nothing happens at all. If I try "sudo stop gdm", it says "unknown job: gdm". If I try "sudo start lightdm" is says "Job is already running." – Andy S. Feb 25 '13 at 03:55
  • Does it matter that I'm on 12.10? – Andy S. Feb 25 '13 at 03:56
  • When display manager comes up, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and try to kill it with sudo killall gdm (or any other display manager that you have). Then try to sudo start lightdm. let us know about the results – Mostafa Shahverdy Feb 25 '13 at 04:02
  • I can't even get to the display manager. – Andy S. Feb 25 '13 at 04:24
