Hi All!
I liked this project very much man!
So I decided to make a package for Archlinux users.
Anyone who is interested in testing the SVN version of LXDM, please download the LXDM PKGBUILD here.
If Arch users use YAOURT, so just do: $ yaourt -S lxdm-svn
Thanks for this project!
LXDE and THE DM and my lxdm
Re: LXDE and THE DM and my lxdm
I have tested it on 64bit and 32 bit, using phillipe's pkgbuild.
1. when I start lxdm on runlevel 5 via inittab it starts, bit when I try to start it as deamon, I get the following:
Line 200:
wants to start lxdm but "lxdm" isn't there.
@phillipe: The pkgbuild should provide a shell script which launches "lxdm -d" when "/ect.rc.d/lxdm start" is started. Beside this, thx for uploading the pkgbuild.
2. "/usr/bin/lxsession -s LXDE" is using very much cpu power, means half of an "Intel Atom". This is only when I starting LXDE through LXDM.
3. When using sudo, I noticed, that auto completion is working, like:
but when I start it by hiting enter:
when I use
everything works fine.
When I sue gdm this all works quite well. Maybe lxdm doesn't export some variables?
4. Is it possible to change the "theme", i mean this is not important at this stage of development, but if there is already a possibility
That's it so far, btw: very nice job.

Re: LXDE and THE DM and my lxdm
Thanks maces!
I used the /etc/rc.d/slim daemon script and I made some alterations to make the /etc/rc.d/lxdm daemon script.
So, now, LXDM works in the DAEMONS section of /etc/rc.conf.
Make a try please!
Edit the file /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf and modify the theme in the line:
For those who want the wallpaper I use click here.

I don't have these problems in my Arch maces.2. "/usr/bin/lxsession -s LXDE" is using very much cpu power, means half of an "Intel Atom". This is only when I starting LXDE through LXDM.

Yes, it is possible maces.4. Is it possible to change the "theme", i mean this is not important at this stage of development, but if there is already a possibility

EDIT: Here is one screenshot of LXDM customized with a custom theme and a custom background that I made.gtk_theme=Clearlooks

Re: LXDE and THE DM and my lxdm
I played with lxdm a bit on Ubuntu and saw that there is no .Xauthority file created, and the code for it was disable. Do you plan to fix it ? Because for me, it blocked anything launched with gksu I don't know how Archlinux works, but they should have the same problem if gksu is handle the same way.
Apart that, it's working pretty well It's a really nice replacement for gdm.

Re: LXDE and THE DM and my lxdm
Where/how do I change the code in lxdm to look for session files in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions instead of /usr/share/xsessions?
Thanks!

Re: LXDE and THE DM and my lxdm
You don't need to change the code Texstar, just make a symbolic link from /etc/X11/dm/Sessions to /etc/X11/dm/Sessions, like this:Texstar wrote:Where/how do I change the code in lxdm to look for session files in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions instead of /etc/X11/dm/Sessions?

Re: LXDE and THE DM and my lxdm
In KDM and GDM there is a setting to restart the xserver mostly needed to keep nvidia and fglrx drivers from hanging.
GDM
AlwaysRestartServer=true
KDM
TerminateServer=true
It there such a setting for LXDM?
Thanks,
