For Guest Session:

For Remote Login:

  1. Open a terminal.

  2. Run the following commands:

    sudo -i                           # to have root privileges
gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf   # to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file

  3. Add this line to the end of the file:

    greeter-show-remote-login=false

  4. Save the file and close it.

  5. Restart lightdm service (from tty1 with sudo service lightdm restart) or restart computer.

  • What if he would not be using lightdm or using some other display manager? like gdm or xdm? – Saurav Kumar Aug 31 '13 at 07:14
  • @SauravKumar Then you could use Ask Question button and specify your problems. For example: How to remove Guest Session and Remote Login when I use gdm or xdm? The OP said that he uses Ubuntu 13.04 and the default X display manager for Ubuntu 13.04 is lightdm. – Radu Rădeanu Aug 31 '13 at 07:25

I think you would know.. – Saurav Kumar Aug 31 '13 at 07:26
  • does greeter-show-remote-login=fasle disables remote login or just does not display remote login. My purpose is to disable remote login completly. – Hrithik Roshan Aug 31 '13 at 09:13

  • @silenTK That's a problem with your gedit editor. Try anotherone like nano for example. – Radu Rădeanu Apr 01 '14 at 06:13
  • when I open /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf in gedit, I can see only a blank file, am using(14.04).. Please help me.. – A J Jun 09 '14 at 08:09

For remote login, uninstall:

remote-login-service
lightdm-remote-session-freerdp
lightdm-remote-session-uccsconfigure

This will prevent to be prompted to keep/replace your tweaked /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf when an update to the remote-login-service will be plublished.... because this way, you won't [need to] edit it to make the option disappear from the greeter.
