 |
|
Hello,
I would like to use lightdm as DM instead of the default sddm in KDE/plasma. Following the advice in this post (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1055566.html) I replaced sddm with lightdm accordingly.
However, booting always ends up on the command line.
My settings are | Code: | cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf |grep greeter-session
greeter-session = lightdm-kde-greeter
#greeter-session=example-gtk-gnome
ls /usr/share/xgreeters/
lightdm-kde-greeter.desktop |
And error is given in the log: | Code: | cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log
[+0.00s] DEBUG: Logging to /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log
[+0.00s] DEBUG: Starting Light Display Manager 1.16.7, UID=0 PID=3805

[+0.01s] DEBUG: Seat seat0: Failed to create greeter session |
Despite the setting for the greeter in /etc/lightdm.conf to lightdm-kde-greeter, it still looks for the default lightdm-gtk-greeter (lightdm was pulled in with USE=-gtk).
How can I change this?
BTW, I followed the wiki for the settings, and Ido not have a NVIDIA graphics driver

| Code: | # cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | grep -v ^#
[LightDM]
greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
[Seat:*]
greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
[XDMCPServer]
[VNCServer] |
The one under [Seat:*] is the necessary one! 
HTH, cheers

You made my day  . Thanks a million.
Cross-checked with the Gentoo lightdm-Wiki, it is not in there.
