Bug Description

For example, if there is only one account, it should be selected automatically. I shouldn't have to press enter to select it and enter my password. An idea for multiple accounts would be to select the most frequently used. You could even show all the accounts when having one selected to enter its password.

Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release: 18.04

It says package gdm is not installed. May I ask, what does the package do? Thank you.

This is a feature request for gdm.

Honestly, we're not really making many design changes like this one because we're interested in the implementation of this overhaul of the login/lock screen experience:
