According to the wiki, the package is unity-greeter and it is part of lightdm, these are the relevant files for customization

/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/*.conf
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/*.conf
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Specifics can be found at the wiki link.

  • Thank you very much! Does the same package also provide this login screen or is this yet a different package? – orschiro Sep 29 '16 at 13:26

    Yes, as far as I know any log in screen etc is provided by the display manager (lightdm), the only time it is different is on another desktop (gdm for gnome etc..) but as long as you have unity lightdm should be what you need. – Mark Kirby Sep 29 '16 at 13:29
  • I see, thanks! Do you have any idea why I might see both? First, I see the one shown above, then after entering my password, I see the second one I just shared with you. – orschiro Sep 29 '16 at 13:32
  • Seems that installing some gnome desktop packages can cause this, I would guess that the packages pull in some extra gnome stuff as dependencies. This answer had some success http://askubuntu.com/a/747888/75060 going off of comments, can you think of any gnome packages you may of installed? – Mark Kirby Sep 29 '16 at 13:36
  • Also, this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1292451 says it is related to the gnome-screensaver package. – Mark Kirby Sep 29 '16 at 13:38
  • Excellent. Thank you for your great help! I removed gnome-screensaver and this first annoying login-screen is finally gone. Great! :-) – orschiro Sep 29 '16 at 13:42
  • Glad to help :) – Mark Kirby Sep 29 '16 at 13:42
