I have been converted to this way of thinking, not only for LFS/BLFS, but Arch,
Sabayon and Gentoo also have had problems with ?DM.
When I installed LXDM, I usually had problems to get it running.
Most times, the above problems came from something wrong with Linux Pam.
Perhaps the best way would be start gnome from .xinitrc and/or .bash-profile?
In .xinitrc:
eval $(dbus-launch --auto-syntax --exit-with-session)
exec env LANG=pt_BR.utf8 startlxde (replace startlxde qith the equivalent for
gnome)
In .bash_profile:
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && ! [[ -e /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ]] && (( EUID )); then
while true; do
read -p 'Do you want to start X? (y/n): '
case $REPLY in
[Yy]) xinit ~/.xinitrc &> ~/.x-session-errors ;;
[Nn]) break ;;
*) printf '%s\n' 'Please answer y or n.' ;;
esac
done
fi
I have taken this from an old post in ArchWiki.
