So as I installed plasma desktop it obviously took over and now instead of desired login screen(picture) I see some KDE lightdm theme..would it be possible I could have the default Ubuntu 12.04 login screen(on picture-i can't post it bc of reputation but you know the one with grid and all)?

  • do this at the terminal:

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

    And select gdm as default.

  • After you do sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, you need to stop lightdm, and start gdm sudo service lightdm stop, and sudo service gdm start. – Mitch Nov 22 '13 at 06:06

You need to install unity-greeter if it is missing.

and edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

and change the line

greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter

to

greeter-session=unity-greeter

Save and exit and either restart lightdm with sudo service lightdm restart or reboot.
