Hi,
I'm currently looking at patching the desktop tasks in taskselect to
use slim instead of lightdm (atleast until lightdm has been cleaned up
to not depend on systemd).
Also I'm planning to replace gnome-network-manager in those tasks with
wicd.
These changes bring us closer to our goal of not needing to install
any systemd dependencies. (There still are packages like cups and
lxsession that need to have the tie-ins to systemd excised.
Also, these changes only effect from scratch installation of Devuan,
where tasksel is used. Installing the removed packages manually will
work just fine.
Regards,
Daniel.
Hello Daniel,
That is possibly the best option that we could have. Thanks for the idea.
I have never used slim before and I have been using lightdm for years.
But after looking at slim source code, it is cleaner than lightdm as
there is only 1 file that is related to systemd, i.e. slim.service. So I
decided to re-compile slim, of course after removing everything related
to systemd including adding the following patch.

I installed it on my test PC, purged lightdm and it looks to be running
fine. I need to play around a bit with its setting before I install it
on my main PC.
About wicd, I have been looking for alternative of that because I
occasionally experience WiFi disconnection. It looks that it tries to
move to another access point even the signal strength and quality is not
good. I have 3 access points (two at 2.4 GHz and one at 5 GHz) in my
apartment with the same SSID to minimise the severe interference.
Do you or anybody else have any suggestion to solve this occasional drop
of WiFi connection on wicd?
Cheers,
Anto
