When starting up by machine, I am prompted with a terminal asking me to login, rather than the nice GUI that I am use to. When I login in, I am able to run startx and everything works smoothly.

I added the following to my ~/zprofile but it only ran once I was logged in.

if [[ ! $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]]; then

  startx

fi

How can I get the login screen that I am use to, to appear again?

ubuntu boot display startx

The Gui is loaded by systemd, when the init system is systemd, this is the case of Ubuntu

Here is a nice answer about the subject

systemctl get-default permit to see what target is set for the startup either multi-user.target or graphical.target

To enable x at startup time you can use:

sudo systemctl enable graphical.target --force

sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

And to disable it

sudo systemctl enable multi-user.target --force

sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target

Note that /etc/X11/default-display-manager contain the default used display manager (this file is not required tho)

Also find here how to setup the default display manager, this is required as well

For a detailed answer more information about the setup are required (what desktop are you using kde/gnome what dm are using lightdm/sddm etc)
