[Bug 841076] Re: System Settings should include a way to change default Desktop Environment
It would need design input but it's likely that we don't want our users getting confused by having to learn that they use "unity" and that other desktop and session can be installed or used, that's something rather technical and that should probably be out of the standard options, closing that bug ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841076 Title: System Settings should include a way to change default Desktop Environment To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/841076/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status.

[Bug 841076] Re: System Settings should include a way to change default Desktop Environment
** Description changed: Maybe I'm not seeing it, but there doesn't seem to be a graphical way to set the default desktop environment. If I set login automatically, and I want to use Unity 2D I need to log out of Unity and log back in using Unity 2D. I would suggest that the "User Account" set the preferred desktop for each user. Not sure if this would be able to support LightDM and GDM, KDM, XDM etc. + + Currently, I find that the community lacks in knowledge about LightDM + and how to configure it. + + Let's just say that I can't instruct someone who is frightened by CLI to + edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to read the following: + + [SeatDefaults] + greeter-session=unity-greeter + user-session=ubuntu-2d + autologin-user=confusedgrandmother + + of yourse, you can always change the user-session=ubuntu-2d line to read + another default desktop environment (for the system, not per user).
