Comment 22 for bug 1288572

Hi Tim,

1, I think unity is too big, I installed lxde. Hopefully that is the same to what you want. I know lxde will work because I used Lubuntu 14.04 trusty amd64.

2, lightdm with unity greeter can not enter lxde somehow. I don't know why. maybe failed to select LXDE? To workaround this issue, I installed "lightdm-gtk-greeter" and use gtk greeter instead of unity greeter by creating a file "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf"

3, Now, I can enter LXDE with lightdm with lightdm-gtk-greeter. I can confirm that I am running nvidia driver by running "nvidia-settings". The following hopefully is what you want (in LXDE):
