In my Ubuntu 14.04 /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf and /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf files are missing. Only /etc/lightdm/users.conf file is there in /etc/lightdm/ directory.

And login screen is not smooth either. Sometimes when typing the password, it does not appearing. How can I fix this?

    AFAIK the lightdm configuration files now reside in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ - I don't think your non-smoothness issue is related to that – steeldriver Feb 15 '16 at 13:11
  • As of 14.04 you have to create whatever files and folders you need. That's the short answer. There's sample conf files somewhere in /usr, but i can't recall of the top of my head which exact path – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Feb 16 '16 at 03:30
  • I think I had this issue but can't remember exactly what needs to be done to fix it. It is possibly a missing font or missing theme or could just be misconfigured. – mchid Feb 16 '16 at 03:32

Those files no longer exist and are depreciated. Configuration is now done through individual files located in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d.

If you want do some configuration, maybe see this answer as an example.

Alternatively, see this answer on how to set default manager now that lightdm.conf does not exist.
