 |
|
[Moderator edit: Changed title to try to attract relevant answers. Original title lacked the systemd: prefix. -Hu]
When I tried enabling lightdm-
| Code: | localhost /home/reik # systemctl enable lightdm
Failed to enable unit: File /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service already exists and is a symlink to /lib/systemd/system/gdm.service. |
When I tried removing gdm so I can enable lightdm-
| Code: | localhost /home/reik # emerge -c --verbose gdm
Calculating dependencies... done!
gnome-base/gdm-3.24.3-r1 pulled in by:
gnome-base/gnome-3.24.2 requires >=gnome-base/gdm-3.24.2
gnome-base/gnome-shell-3.24.3 requires >=gnome-base/gdm-3.5[introspection]

| According to that output, if you want to remove gnome-base/gdm, you need to remove some other core components of GNOME as well. Do you need to remove gnome-base/gdm? The systemctl output merely says that you cannot make lightdm the display manager while gdm is the display manager. It does not say that you must unmerge gdm in order to make it not be your display manager. |
