I updated to Ubuntu 18.04 and now my greeter is gone.



After reboot my computer, I am automatically logged into my GUI.



I understand Ubuntu now uses GDM3, how can I enable/configure its greeter?

  • Try sudo systemctl enable gdm.service && sudo systemctl start gdm.service.

Two ideas:




  1. AutoLogin is On



    Go to Settings -> Details -> User -> Automatic Login




  2. The Upgrade didn't complete properly



    Go to the terminal and verify that the ubuntu-desktop package is installed:



    sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop


    (ubuntu-desktop requires gdm3 which requires gnome-session which manages the login session so, presuming you haven't changed any configs, ensuring ubuntu-desktop is installed should fix a lot of things.)



There are more things that you could have messed up somehow, but these are the easiest to fix.
