I have Ubuntu 12.04 running fine with Cinnamon desktop. Recently I installed MDM window manager to try it out, discovered I didn't like and went back to lightDM.
Everything went fine until reboot, I still got the MDM login screen. I ended up having to edit lightdm.conf to reset to the unity greeter login screen.
This is what I had to change it to;
[SeatDefaults]
user-session=cinnamon
greeter-session=unity-greeter
Now login screen is restored but I am left with a couple of questions. I have regular Ubuntu, Gnome Shell and Cinnamon installed. Along with all their 2D versions.
1.) Will my edit work across all sessions if I decide to change again, or is that only going to work for Cinnamon?
2.) If the login is just for Cinnamon, how would I set it for all sessions? What would I need to put in for "user-session"?
I realize I could test this myself by simply logging out and choosing a new session, but I prefer to not interrupt my work to do that. Also, that wouldn't help with figuring out what to put in for "user-session" if I need to do something else.
Thank you in advance for your input and advice.
