  • When installing your ubuntu platform , if you choose a desktop environment such as mate that has lightdm as its default display manager, please ensure you adjust this

  • Other factors, such as Single sign-on (SSO)  will have a bearing on your options - for example,  KDE and the MATE Desktop Environment only works when your Linux desktop is using the GDM3 greeter (login screen).
