I've upgraded to 12.04. My upgrade didn't go as expected; X crashed at the middle of the upgrade. I had to install many packages manually.
This left me with a GDM login screen. How do I change from GDM to lightDM?

Let me first tell you that now Ubuntu does not use GDM as its display manager in version 12.04...It uses
lightdm
as its display manager...So the screen you want is actually
lightdm
.So you will have to install
lightdm
as follows.Enter these commands in the terminal:
Install lightdm
After installing
lightdm
enter the following commands to setlightdm
as the default display manager:Then you will get the following screen:
hit enter and then you will get this screen:
Navigate your option to
lightdm
and hit enter.Now Restart.
you'll get your screen :)
