I wanted an Ubuntu-based distro for simplicity but with a lightweight window manager. I recently installed Linux Lite 2.0 because of a bug I suppose, I encountered when tried to login. It was keeping me at the login screen, something like a loop, even if the password was correct.I tried it for my occasionally jumping icons, but it did not help. But no problem; it works!
I found a solution for that: I changed the login manager from LightDM to GDM
- Go to a text terminal using Alt-Ctrl-F1
- Stop LightDM with sudo stop lightdm
- Start GDM with sudo start gdm
- Run sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm to set the default display manager for gdm
- Edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager and set it to /usr/sbin/gdm if you can't run the above
- Restart your computer and login.
Keep up the good work!
P.S.: Are there any Linux Lite specific repositories? I think I read something at the manual but I'm not sure.
