How to Setup Login Screen

[webmiester]

Hi Everyone,

I am using Ubuntu Mate on a raspberry pi. After bootup, I am greeted by a boring login screen with a white background and a box which displays my first user's name as default.

I would like to change the background and make the "guess" user as the default name which will appear. How do I do this?

Thanks so much.

Create a userid - "guess" - then login using that account. It should be the default account shown going forward.

If you meant the "guest" login - those are randomly generated userids (guest4352 for example) with each new time they are requested. It is created when requested and removed when logout happens.

lightdm is the login/display manager for mate, if you want to know more. Config files for it are in /etc/lightdm/ with many different options.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM and https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/LightDM/ have more info.
