Ubuntu - How to change the Display Manager

A Display Manager provides a graphical login screen. Ubuntu comes with default GUI - Gnome and 'gdm' as Display Manager. You may also choose to install K.D.E on Ubuntu to get an option to login into one out of two different GUI's. K.D.E comes with 'kdm' as the display manager. When you install K.D.E you are asked if you want to change the display manager to 'kdm'. If later you want to switch to the other available display manager then you can do so by using the following command in a terminal window:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
