Tq very much for your valuable suggestion..I searched lot of websites for this purpose.At last I am able to find it..Once again thanks
ReplyDeleteStep 5 states "open gdm.conf" - can you elaborate as if I open in gedit it won't allow me to save (permission) as I am not logged in as root. I can't log in as root, that's why I need your help!!
