Choosing lightdm over gdm


  • Installation: Ubuntu 12.04 Precise.
  • Default Display Manager installed: lightdm
  • Changed Display Manager to: gdm
    • Using command: $ sudo apt-get install gdm
    • Selected default display manager as 'gdm' when prompted.
  • Switch back to: lightdm
    • Using command: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
    • Selected option: lightdm
Switched Back to lightdm because:
  • PC boots faster.
  • Ubuntu loads faster.
  • Performance improvement.
