Is there a way that I can set my Pi to log in to the X server GUI but still require my username and password?

@dastaan: incorrect. That link just demonstrates how to set the rPi to boot straight to GUI. The OP wants to set a login before the GUI starts (or a GUI login screen). This post is closer: raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/1321/…– Phil B.Sep 24, 2015 at 11:31

@PhilB. You're right. My bad. The one you suggested actually does what he wants i.e., GUI login screen. Thanks for pointing it out. :)– dhruvvyas90Sep 24, 2015 at 11:37

Anyways, my quick research showed no RaspberryPi.SE post that addressed this specific question, so I don't think closure is needed. I found an Instructable that answers it - see my answer below.– Phil B.Sep 24, 2015 at 11:42

This Instructable (on Instructable.com) gives you the right clues on how to set up a Login screen inside the GUI:
Open terminal emulator
cd /etc/lightdm
nano lightdm.confDisable auto login:
#auto-login-user=piShow list of user(s) in login screen
greet-hide-users=falseSave the file
Reboot
sudo rebootRaspberry Pi will display a login screen

My raspbian is not booting after I applied this change. The boot stops at a black screen when it should open the greet screen and prompt for password Jun 1, 2017 at 22:52
