Ubuntu :: Downgrade GDM To 2.20 In 10.04 Lucid?

The result After following these instructions you'll get:

-GDM 2.20, with all the features(themes, feature complete, configurable...)

-No Plymouth, or any graphical boot (haven't found a way to run old gdm along with Plymouth)

These instructions are based on this post [URL] but they won't work on Lucid 10.04 Download GDM 2.20 on this link. Remove gdm and install the downloaded package.

Code:

sudo apt-get remove gdm
sudo dpkg -i gdm*.deb
sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.bak

Run these commands (related to a bug in this package):

Code:

cd /usr
sudo mkdir X11R6
cd X11R6
sudo ln -s /usr/bin bin

Disable the graphical boot (reason: Plymouth loads X, and old gdm can't connect, fixes are welcome)

-Edit /etc/default/grub and change

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"

to

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"

Run:

Code:

sudo update-grub2
