/etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf file and /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf missing

Those files no longer exist and are depreciated. Configuration is now done through individual files located in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d.

If you want do some configuration, maybe see this answer as an example.

Alternatively, see this answer on how to set default manager now that lightdm.conf does not exist.

    In my Ubuntu 14.04 /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf and /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf files are missing. Only /etc/lightdm/users.conf file is there in /etc/lightdm/ directory.

    And login screen is not smooth either. Sometimes when typing the password, it does not appearing. How can I fix this?

      AFAIK the lightdm configuration files now reside in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ - I don't think your non-smoothness issue is related to that
