Hello All,

This Article will show you how to Hide or Disable Guest Login and Remote Login from Login Screen of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr.

I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr on First day of its release, As of now, Not a single crash took place which is great indication of Stability. I noticed few LightDM related changes in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr.

In previous versions of Ubuntu like 13.04 and 13.10 there was ???/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults??? command, By using this command you can Disable / Enable / Hide / Show Guest Login or Remote login by executing on command prompt but in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr this command doesn’t exist. But not to worry, I managed to do it by editing / updating lightDM configuration.
