Ubuntu 9.10 is one great upgrade compared to the previous ones. But some of the new features can be a tad irritating like the display of the user lists at the login screen everytime. Here’s how you can hide the User list.
There are two methods by which you can do this.
1st Method:
♦ Open the terminal.
♦ Enter the following command:
sudo gconftool-2 –direct –config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory –type Boolean –set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list True
2nd Method:
♦ Logout from your current session. Navigate back to the GDM.
♦ Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and move to the tty command line prompt.
♦ Login to your account and at the command line type
export DISPLAY=:0.0
♦ After that type
sudo -u gdm gconf-editor
♦ Press Alt-f7 to return to the GDM screen.
♦ Then goto apps>gdm>simple-greeter and check disable user list.
♦ Restart GDM by typing:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
OR
sudo service gdm start
