gmd & lightdm doesn't ask for password and wont let me select desktop
ok since my upgrade i have an issue with lightdm and gdm. with either display manager it wont let me enter a password. i get to the screen for GDM cause that is what i am using right now. and i click my name and it logs in. autologin is not enabled. but i dont liek this cause it provides a security risk and worse of all im forced to use unity. lxdm works but it gives me issues when i load gnome-shell and kdm is an absolute fail just keeps restarting. i completely re-installed ubuntu as well as uninstalled ubuntu-desktop and *-desktop. and all the default configurations and rebuilt the system by hand. also ran locate gdm and removed it every place i found it on \ . and once i build it back up i get the same issue and i can use a trminal to boot into my environment of choice but this is really just so confusion. and more then anything i just want to know whats going on and how to fix it. thanks
