I have the following system:
$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 17.10
Release: 17.10
Codename: artful
$ gdm3 --version
GDM 3.26.1
I would like to disable the user list in GDM and enter my user name and password to log-in. I have already searched a lot but did not find any valuable solution.
How can I achieve this?

This feature is currently bugged, see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1724944 and mark yourself affected
You need to install the
dconf-editor
tool if you not have already:Then when you opened it navigate to:
and set the 'disable-user-list' button to 'on':
Since the above is still bugged, the only solution is right now via terminal edit the following lines in
/etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults
:to:
Be sure to edit both lines otherwise you might crash your login completely.
