Changes

When you first boot from an Ubuntu installation you will most likely be presented with a Login Screen. If, on the other hand, you have booted from the Ubuntu Live media, or configured your Ubuntu installation to automatically log into your desktop session, the first thing you will see after the system has loaded will be the GNOME desktop. Regardless of the configuration chosen, any time a user logs out of a desktop session, the log in screen will appear. The goal of this chapter is to outline some of the options provided by this screen.
