Tweaking the Login Screen in Ubuntu

Ever thought of making the default Ubuntu login screen behave the way you want?

• Probably you are the only user (and you do not fear someone else prying in your PC/laptop) and you feel entering the password everytime a nuisance! You would want Ubuntu to log in automatically for you.
• Or there might be other users (like an admin and a standard user), and you may want the login screen to be visible for 10 seconds (in case you want to login as admin user) and on no response for 10 seconds (or any time you choose) log in to the standard user automatically.
• Else, you like the old secure linux way to ask you to choose the user and enter password everytime.

There may be other things you like;

• Like playing a sound when you log in.
• Select the session (Gnome/Kde/xfce etc) as default

Either ways, you have your pick.
Simply go to System>Administration>Login Screen and you would find all the options to tweak the login the way you like.

Note: You will need to be logged in as admin user and enter the admin password again to Unlock the Login Screen menu.
