LightDM is the display manager running in Ubuntu up to version 16.04 LTS. While it has been replaced by GDM in later Ubuntu releases, LightDM is still used by default in the latest release of several Ubuntu flavors. LightDM starts the X servers, user sessions and greeter (login screen). Hence There is no need of lightDM :). Its Time talking process also...

Brother please help me, I get stuck in login Page. When I open my laptop they asked me username I did same but root and then password but they are first saying that pasword is wrong but after trying many times it showing failed to start session. What should I do now I m not able to work on my laptop it is locked now 😭

additional info:
To fix "ttyname failed:Inappropriate ioctl for device" error when loading root profile in a text editor:


gedit /root/.profile


find and remove the following line:


mesg n || true


And replace it with the following and save:


if `tty -s`; then
mesg n
fi


Logout and relogin again to see if it works :)

To login from root. Other login option is not available after doing these steps.
