I am trying to change the greeter-session in LightDm, but I am unable to find any lightdm.conf in etc/ lightdm. This is what's inside etc/lightdm -

The lightdm.conf.d folder is empty.

Also file search does return a lightdm.conf in etc/ init, but it doesn't seem to be the file I need.

So, how shuold I change the greeter-session, should I create a lightdm.conf file ?

P.S. Distro - Ubuntu 18.04 with latest Gnome version.

EDIT : askUbuntu. This seems to work.

I entered locate lightdm.conf in my system and it found /etc/init/lightdm.conf along with a number of other possibly related files. However a search for lightdm using my menu opened a Login Window configuration applet titled LightDM GTK+ Greeter that allows me to use a GUI tool to change things - why not use that? – guiverc Jun 21 '19 at 11:56
@starkus purging and reinstalling didn't bring back the missing .conf file. Although I managed to edit the greeter-session via a workaround in this answer askUbuntu – user9586876 Jun 23 '19 at 20:18
