Changing the login screen of ubuntu 9.10 is somewhat different and complicated compared to other versions of ubuntu. But still we can change it the way we need it to behave. For this we will have to do some steps. Let me explain those steps here.

1. Logout of your current session and return to the GDM
2. Switch to the tty command line prompt using Ctrl-Alt-F1
3. Login using your normal login/password
4. at the command line prompt type: export DISPLAY=:0.0
5. then type: sudo -u gdm gnome-control-center
6. Switch back to the gdm screen using CTRL+ALT-F7
7. The gnome-control-center should be loaded. Use it to configure your GDM.
8. Click on the Appearances icon, in appearances you can change your GDM’s font, theme and background image.
9. Close the gnome-control-center and login normally.

These are the steps. Here in the gnome control center you can lot more than just changing the login screen.

Have any doubts? feel free to ask in comments.

The guys who uses Linux most likely to experiment with their systems. So if by any chance the sources.list file got corrupted we cannot update our linux anymore. For resolving this we will be needing a new and clean sources.list file. But if we chose to take the sources.list fie from any of the online community, there may be chance of slowing down the update process. This is because the sources.list file you may be getting is from another part of the earth and the updates are being downloaded from the location near to them, and very far from you.

Here I found one link which will generate the sources.list file according to your needs and it includes the selection of the country, which will help you getting faster upgrades.
