Ubuntu 11.10 was loaded without a hitch however to obtain Classic Fallback I followed the following instructions - http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/08/return-to-ubuntu-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/

Log on Menu now shows

  • Gnome Classic
  • Gnome Classic(No effects)
  • Ubuntu
  • Ubuntu 2D

"Recovery Console" and "User Defined Session" are NOT options - I can't remember if those options were available before entering Fallback command. How can I obtain these two options on Menu ? Please note my last comment - maybe all is well ?

Thanks Jorge for improving appearance of question - – Geoff Smith Oct 17 '11 at 13:54
I have come across several links to logon screens which are similar to mine - ie Without "Recovery Console" and "User Defined Session" as options - I simply don't know which is normal - My installation was a fresh install with a 4 user /home partition. – Geoff Smith Oct 19 '11 at 20:55
Are you confused with the Recovery mode which would just drop you to a root shell? That is a boot option of GRUB and cannot be added to the login menu. – Lekensteyn Oct 22 '11 at 10:00
Hi Lekensteyn - The answer supplied by Matus below did the trick. "Recovery Console" and "User Defined Session" are now options on my logon menu. Thanks for taking the time to reply. – Geoff Smith Oct 23 '11 at 10:44

Installing package "gdm" and setting "lightdm" as default login manager works for me. Looks like gdm adds those two settings wanted.
