What is LightDM?
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 While it has been replaced by GDM in later Ubuntu releases, LightDM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). The default greeter in Ubuntu up to version 16.04 LTS is Unity
