So we have both competition, and good representation for open source, in personal computing.<br /><br />Even though we have only played a small part in that shift, I think it's important for us to recognize that the shift has taken place. So from Ubuntu's perspective, this bug is now closed.<br /><br />[...] Along those lines, it's good to reflect on how much has changed since 2004, and how fast it's changed. For Ubuntu, our goal remains to deliver fantastic experiences: for developers, for people building out production infrastructure, and for end-users on a range of devices. We are doing all of that in an environment that changes completely every decade. So we have to be willing to make big changes ourselves - in our processes, our practices, our tools, and our relationships. Change this bug status is but a tiny example."</i></blockquote><br />The full comment can be found <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1/comments/1834">HERE</a>.<br /><br /><b>What do you think?</b>

The Installer works with supported distributions' package managers to keep up with our quarterly releases.

How To Install MDM 1.2.5 From Linux Mint 15 In Ubuntu

<div style="text-align: justify;">MDM is the default Linux Mint display manager, forked from GDM 2.20, which means it supports the old GDM themes. <b>Linux Mint 15 will ship with MDM 1.2.5 </b>which has received <b>support for HTML greeters</b> (supports HTML5, CSS, Javascript and WebGL) and <b>if you want to install it in Ubuntu, you can use a PPA to install both MDM 1.2.5 as well as the default MDM themes</b>.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Since the previous stable release, MDM has also received many under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes. For a complete feature list and more info on MDM, see its <a href="https://github.com/linuxmint/mdm">GitHub page</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDK3oqIiktwTYPly2aC20CVYujW4HOoLD_Iv9Qljg1AuGv0oIWrTeGPFogLswf4W-IgrkdgCjkg42b9xoU80lRvCqpUX37QsDZhcwFIKlGWI3Ta0_OThacI1omWnHcULenkiONyY4uS0P/s1600/mdm_htmltheme_1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDK3oqIiktwTYPly2aC20CVYujW4HOoLD_Iv9Qljg1AuGv0oIWrTeGPFogLswf4W-IgrkdgCjkg42b9xoU80lRvCqpUX37QsDZhcwFIKlGWI3Ta0_OThacI1omWnHcULenkiONyY4uS0P/s320/mdm_htmltheme_1.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A MDM HTML theme</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Because the default MDM themes are Linux Mint branded, I've tweaked some of them to integrate better with Ubuntu, and renamed the package to "ubuntu-mdm-themes". But I'm no graphics designer so you may want to tweak them further - this can easily be done since the themes are mostly HTML / CSS, so look under <i>/usr/share/mdm/themes/</i> for GDM themes and in <i>/usr/share/mdm/html-themes/</i> for the new HTML themes and change them to suit your needs or create your own theme.</div><br />Here are some of the themes available by default in Linux Mint and in our PPA:<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-htmltheme_2.png" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="MDM themes" src="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-htmltheme_2_thumb.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">MDM HTML theme</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-htmltheme_3.png" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="MDM themes" src="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-htmltheme_3_thumb.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">MDM HTML theme</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-gdmtheme_1.png" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="MDM themes" src="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-gdmtheme_1_thumb.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">MDM GDM theme</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-gdmtheme_2.png" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="MDM themes" src="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-gdmtheme_2_thumb.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">MDM GDM theme</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-gdmtheme_3.png" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="MDM themes" src="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-gdmtheme_3_thumb.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">MDM GDM theme</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The default themes include an animated WebGL theme called "Clouds (WebGL)" which looks great, but in my test, the animation was slow both in VirtualBox and on my laptop (running Nvidia Optimus) and I've read that it doesn't work at all for some users, so be careful if you select this theme. There are some other non-WebGL animated HTML themes included by default, which you'll discover for yourself once you install the latest MDM from Linux Mint 15, by using the instructions below.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Install MDM in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Important:</b></span> installing MDM will remove GDM (and GNOME Shell, since it depends on GDM - but this is only for Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04). That's because there are some conflicts between MDM and GDM. So if you're using GNOME Shell in Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04, do not install MDM.</div><br /><b>1. To install the latest MDM from Linux Mint 15 in Ubuntu 13.04, 12.10 or 12.04, use the following commands:</b><br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install mdm ubuntu-mdm-themes</code></pre>During the installation, you'll be prompted to select the default display manager:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-configuration-term.png" rel="image_group"><img alt="mdm configuration" src="http://img.netupd8.com/mdm-configuration-term_thumb.png" /></a></div><br />Select MDM here. Later on, if you want to switch to LightDM, GDM or some other display manager, see this article: <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2011/07/how-to-switch-between-gdm-lightdm-or.html">How To Switch Between GDM, LightDM, MDM Or KDM In Ubuntu</a>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2.</b> Once MDM has been installed, restart you computer. Until you restart the computer, MDM Setup (shows up as "Login Window" in Dash / the menu) won't show up.
