Answer 1

I have found the solution by editing the file " default-display-manager " in the path /etc/X11/

#vim /etc/X11/default-display-manager

For Gnome , edit as :

/usr/sbin/gdm

For KDE , edit as below

/usr/lib/kde4/bin/kdm

Once updated the reboot the computer. you can find the updated the display manager.

You can also, do it by executing the below command.

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
