    [SOLVED] I think I screwed things up!!!

    Yes, its me again In ubuntu 10.04 i wanted to try and not have the login screen come up to put in the password like i did in 9.10. I went into System, Admin, Login Screen and clicked Unlock, gave my password and then changed it from GNOME to Failsafe GNOME and now settings from Compiz don't work, I tried going back into Login Screen to change it back but nothing happens when I click on Unlock. How do i get it back the way it was???
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Thanks, steve509

    Edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf
    Code:
    gksudo gedit /etc/gdm/custom.conf
    There should be a couple of lines looking like
    Code:
    TimedLogin=username
AutomaticLogin=username
    Comment those out
    Code:
    # TimedLogin=username
# AutomaticLogin=username
    Change (or add if they aren't there) the following lines to
    Code:
    AutomaticLoginEnable=false
TimedLoginEnable=false
