I have not bothered to Well I didn't write entrance... so they aren't connected. Entrance long ago was due for a rewrite I think but I don't know what happened there. The above has been new musings mostly because of Wayland and at least my desire to have a "seamless experience" where your login manager can work properly without X and then seamlessly fade out to black, then your full normal login session begin and fade in from black. Entrance was definitely an X login manager and even if the X bits were removed or made optional, it'd still then have to add more and more of the features above that are already in E, and that just doesn't make a lot of sense to do. > try to bring it into Mageia, but my old Manjaro setup I had it working rather > nicely, even grabbing backgrounds from the themes to use in it. > > -- > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > ___ > enlightenment-users mailing list > enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users -- - Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users

"provide your own" so to speak. i know that for wayland such things are currently rare and my thoughts are to actually roll this into enlightenment itself so it has a "login mode" of some sort since this is common enough and e already has some infra (lock screen handling for your password), and that any login manager really needs a lot of the functions of a full desktop session (screen dimming, brightness, multiple-screen configuration, suspend/resume/shutdown/reboot, bluetooth controls to connect kbd/mouse etc.). It does need restrictions though so someone can't do "bad things" to an un-logged-in system (e.g. disable unpairing, powering off of bt device, most of e's main menu should not be there, etc.). -- - Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
