I am not sure if I have been unclear here, so I will go over things a bit more. LightDM is the login manager that has those 'pesky shutdown/reboot buttons' SLiM doesn't have those pesky buttons, and is a login manager. You can install it and remove lightdm (after configuring SLiM to be your login manager of course). This will solve the screen having 'pesky shutdown/reboot buttons'. If you do not want a Login screen AT ALL. You will need to dig a bit, and find out how to automatically Start X, without a display manager like LightDM or SLiM. I have no experience doing that. I do remember having to type `startx` to get Gnome going, but this was back in the 90s... So, there has to be a way you can cut out the display manager, and boot directly into X. I suggest searching Ubuntu Forums, or Ask Ubuntu on how to do this. You might even try asking in the wider Ubuntu community. This will take a LOT more work than simply switching SLiM for LightDM, but it is possible. To summarize: You do not want a display manager. You want to start X without a display manager. I don't know how to do this (never needed to find out). Duckduckgo.com might know how to do this :) On 07/11/2014 04:14 AM, Anders Bruun Olsen wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:CAFJm-UO7y3t2t+QH77xtdO5G-UkkBmZAtAv-KNtnshdJ-PC3=A@mail.gmail.com" type="cite">..... <div class="gmail_extra"> </div> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Regards</pre> </body> </html>
