The program managing the login process is specific to the desktop environment installed
on your system. For GNOME, it is GDM. If the KDE desktop is also installed on your
system, it can be KDM.
The GDM login screen has the following items:
• Domain Menu If you authenticate against an Active Directory server, choose
the Windows* Domain to which you want to login. For all other authentication
methods, choose Local Login.
• Login Window Shut Down, Restart or Suspend your machine or login to the
system. Select an existing user from the list or choose Other... to manually enter a
username. Type in the password and press
Enter to login. Once a username is se-
lected or entered, additional menus become available in the panel:
• Language Menu Select a language for your session.
• Keyboard Menu Select a keyboard layout for your session.
• Session Menu Select the desktop to run during your session. If other desktops
are installed, they appear in the list.
• Display Settings Menu Change display settings such as resolution and refresh
rate here.
• Access Preferences Configure the use of assistive technologies using this menu.
For details please refer to Chapter 4, Assistive Technologies (page 91) .
1.1.1 Session Management
A session is the period of time that you are actively logged in. During a session, you
can use applications, print, browse the Web and so on.
The login screen offers several login options. For example, you can select the language
of your session so that text that appears in the interface is presented in that language.
After your username and password are authenticated, the Session Manager starts. The
Session Manager lets you save certain settings from each session. It also lets you save
the state of your most recent session and return to that session the next time you log in.
