 Posted: Fri Dec 02, 2016 5:02 pm Post subject: [solved] How to remove sddm and replace it with lightdm? |
 |
|
Hello,
facing considerable and repeated problem with sddm I would like to get rid of it https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1055488.html.
Seems impossible. I tried | Code: | 1) added "-sddm" to the USE variables in /etc/make.conf
2)emerge -auDvN world |
Nothing has changed. So I tried | Code: | | USE=-sddm emerge -av plasma-meta |
but the package seems to be entirely unaffected. Running | Code: | equery d sddm
* These packages depend on sddm:
kde-plasma/plasma-meta-5.7.5 (sddm ? x11-misc/sddm)
kde-plasma/sddm-kcm-5.7.5 (x11-misc/sddm) |
gives an output I do not understand.
What do I have to do to remove sddm and replace it with lightdm? I emerged lightdm and put it into the /etc/conf.d/xdm file as per wiki. That resulted in a crash, I was kicked to a terminal.
I am quite new to Gentoo, some explanatory advice would be preferred...

I'm currently using Plasma 5.7.5 in Gentoo Stable on my Clevo W230SS laptop. I managed to get LightDM and Plasma 5 working with nvidia-drivers by doing the following:
1. Merged x11-misc/lightdm.
2. Re-merged kde-plasma/plasma-meta with USE="-sddm".
3. Removed the x11-misc/sddm package and kde-plasma/sddm-kcm package by using the command ‘emerge --ask --depclean‘.
4. Edited the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to add the line ‘greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter‘ as specified in Gentoo Wiki article LightDM.
5. Edited the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to add the line ‘display-setup-script=/etc/X11/Sessions/plasma‘ (any file name would do).
6. Created the above-mentioned Bash script /etc/X11/Sessions/plasma containing the following:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
GPU=`eselect opengl list | grep \* | awk '{ print $2 }'`
if [ "$GPU" = "nvidia" ]; then
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
fi |
7. Made sure DISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm" in /etc/conf.d/xdm.
8. Made sure /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf contains:
| Code: | $ grep -v ^# /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[LightDM]
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
[Seat:*]
greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
display-setup-script=/etc/X11/Sessions/plasma
[XDMCPServer]
[VNCServer] |
9. Created the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm-kde-greeter.conf with the following contents:
| Code: | [greeter]
theme-name=classic
[greeter-settings]
Background=/home/fitzcarraldo/Pictures/Wallpaper/Linux/kde-1920x1080.jpg
BackgroundKeepAspectRatio=true
GreetMessage=Welcome to %hostname% |
10. Downloaded a nice KDE wallpaper file from the Web, which I saved as /home/fitzcarraldo/Pictures/Wallpaper/Linux/kde-1920x1080.jpg (I could have saved it anywhere I liked and given it any name I wanted).
I found that the package manager had installed two themes, so I could have specified either the 'classic' or 'userbar' theme:
| Code: | $ ls /usr/share/apps/lightdm-kde-greeter/themes/
classic userbar |

Hello Fitzcarraldo
I saw your post elsewhere. It was that what I tried to follow. I did | Code: | 1) emerge -av lightdm
2) USE=-sddm emerge plasma-meta
3) emerge --ask --depclean |
This has left sddm happy and alive on my system. Did I do something wrong?
BTW, re: 4), the default greeter-session in my lightdm.conf is "light-dm-kde-greeter" rather than "lightdm-kde-greeter". ???
Do I need 5) and 6)?
No. 7) was done accordingly.

In which case unmerge it explicitly:
| Code: | | emerge --ask --depclean sddm sddm-kcm |
| Lokesh wrote: | | BTW, re: 4), the default greeter-session in my lightdm.conf is "light-dm-kde-greeter" rather than "lightdm-kde-greeter". ??? |
Mine is definitely 'lightdm-kde-greeter', not 'light-dm-kde-greeter', as shown below:
| Code: | # locate light-dm-kde-greeter
# grep kde-greeter /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter
# ls /usr/sbin/light*
/usr/sbin/lightdm /usr/sbin/lightdm-kde-greeter
# locate lightdm-kde-greeter | grep conf
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-kde-greeter.conf
/usr/share/apps/lightdm-kde-greeter/themes/classic/config.ui
/usr/share/apps/lightdm-kde-greeter/themes/userbar/config.ui
# locate light-dm-kde-greeter | grep conf

I found them to be essential when using nvidia-drivers. If you're not using nvidia-drivers, then not required. If you're using nvidia-drivers, you can try with and without.

I shall do that tomorrow.

Fortunately I don't have an NVidia card, just onboard Intel.

Isn't x11-misc/sddm in your world file?
Have you do any changes in your package.use?
Can you post your emerge --info and emerge -pv plasma-meta. |

I already did an USE=-sddm emerge plasma-meta, but w/o putting "-sddm" into the make.conf. So the output still looks like: | Code: | emerge -pv plasma-meta
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Your output say that sddm is not enabled and emerge plasma-meta wants to enable it
| Lokesh wrote: | 1) emerge -av lightdm
2) USE=-sddm emerge plasma-meta
3) emerge --ask --depclean |
You forgot to add into step 2 and 3 in your package.use
| Code: | | kde-plasma/plasma-meta -sddm |
You can try
| Code: | echo kde-plasma/plasma-meta -sddm >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge -uDNv @world
emerge --depclean |
If this don't work, post your package.use and your world file (lightdm is installed by the diplay-manager USE, so you don't have to install it manually) |

I am having the impression that the lightdm wiki is oudated:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-kde-greeter.conf does not exist
greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter was set but is ignored, as per log below
The LightDM KDE greeter also provides a KCM (KDE Control Module), which appears in the System Settings under System Administration → Login Screen (LightDM) no, I do not see anything there I had a loook at the log: | Code: | cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log

So is the lightdm package buggy, or, do I have to properly remove sddm first as per advise from sebB?

Thank you for your input, sebB. Unfortunately, there is no change upon your suggestions, i.e. | sebB wrote: | echo kde-plasma/plasma-meta -sddm >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge -uDNv @world
emerge --depclean |
The latter two commands resulted in "nothing to merge; quitting" and "No packages selected for removal by depclean" 
[quote="sebB"If this don't work, post your package.use and your world file (lightdm is installed by the diplay-manager USE, so you don't have to install it manually)[/quote]
I am having individual files, so package.use is a directory on my system. Here are the lightdm uand kde file: | Code: | sudo cat /etc/portage/package.use/lightdm

This is the output after running the above commands -emerge -uDNv @world emerge --depclean!
I am getting mad, sddm does not go away.

I did it but was blamed with "did you firts do a "emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y @world"?
Did it, ran emerge --depclean again. SDDM was kicked out and lightdm pulled in  .
BUT: Before rebooting, I made the neccessary changes to | Code: | nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
greeter-session = lightdm-kde-greeter |
and to | Code: | nano /etc/conf.d/xdm
DISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm" |
Rebooted and...X did not start. The reason is given in the log, which I cannot explain: | Code: | cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log

There is obviously something wrong here. Are you sure you saved your changes to config file?

100% sure. Though I noticed that there are no configuration files for the greeters, like /etc/lightdm/lightdm-kde-greeter.conf. I created an empty one with no difference.
The initial question is solved, I mark the thread accordingly. For lightdm I will open another one.
Thanks again for your help.
