I recently installed lightdm, Big mistake. It was terrible, So i then un-installed it using systemctl remove lightdm.service.
However, I am still having issues. First is that on startup it still has the purple ubuntu unity logo. But the main issue is that, Gdm doesnt start. I have to manually start it using systemctl restart gdm in the command screen.
I even did systemctl edit gdm and tried putting:
[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 1
To add a delay in when gdm starts, Still no luck. Anybody knows why this is happening?
plymouthscreen (screen that hides boot messages) will remain the same until you change it; it isn't changed even if you remove the package that installed it (as that could break something, it thus remains unchanged until you change it). You don't clearly say what you've done, to your unstated system. FYI: Like theplymouthscreen, have you told your system to usegdm3via command, as its not done by package installs/removals (directly anyway)apt install lightdmon a system, you likely triggered a question that asks which DM you wish to use, and that was set as default (eg.lightdm)... If you subsequently remove the packagelightdmthat will not change your default; you've in effect still gotlightdmas default but your removal means it cannot actually run (as it's not there). You can correct viasudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3but that doesn't explain changes to yourplymouthscreens.....
