LightDM is an X display manager that aims to be light, fast, extensible and multi-desktop.[6] It uses various front-ends to draw login interfaces,[7] so-called Greeters.[8]
Features [edit]
Some features include:
- Codebase with few external dependencies
- Standards compliant (PAM, ConsoleKit, etc.)
- Well defined interface between the server and user interface
- Cross-desktop (Greeters can be written in any toolkit)
- Well-defined greeter API allowing multiple GUIs
- Support for all display manager use cases, with plugins where appropriate
LightDM offers at least the same functionality as GDM but it has a simpler code base and does not load any GNOME libraries to work.[9] LightDM is the default display manager for Ubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu and Mythbuntu since 11.10 release,[10][11] for Lubuntu since 12.04 release,[12] and for Kubuntu beginning with 12.10.[13]
