My login screen on boot is Ubuntu's purple login screen. On suspend, the login screen is GNOME's new one, with the blurred desktop bg. How can I get rid of Ubuntu's and only have GNOME's?
- Settings app reads: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, GNOME 3.36.1.
-
/etc/X11/default-display-manager
reads/usr/sbin/gdm3
, though I don't know what's the default in the Wayland case.
-
sudo gdm3 --version
readsGDM 3.34.1
(why not 3.36.1?)
Note: On Ubuntu's log in screen I can pick GNOME (which I use)/GNOME Xorg/Ubuntu/Ubuntu Wayland. I have a feeling this is related, and I'd basically like to get rid of everything Ubuntu (other than the OS ofc) and only keep GNOME.
EDIT: a video / screenshots showing the GNOME lock screen at the beginning changing to the Ubuntu one after clicking the Switch User button.
Thanks in advance.

dwarf almost 4 yearsI really thank you for your help! Though even choosing the
gdm3-theme.gresource
alternative didn't fix it. I still have the Ubuntu login screen taking over after clicking the Switch User button or on boot, see picture. -
dwarf almost 4 yearsYes, but I have two login screens: one is Ubuntu's version of GNOME and one is the pure GNOME. The gear icon lets me choose a session.
-
dwarf almost 4 yearsOk, so how can I use GNOME's login screen (which clearly exists) instead of Ubuntu's version? Even if I enable "automatic login" in the settings, Ubuntu still controls the login screen.
-
dwarf almost 4 yearsSo if this is the normal state I'll just keep it this way. Thank you.

dwarf almost 4 yearsYes, but I wasn't interested in that. My question stemmed at misunderstanding.
