Re: [gentoo-user] Anybody using lightdm?
Has anyone set up lightdm? I'm using it with the default config file but I get a black screen with no error in Xorg.0.log. gdm works fine. Any ideas? I'm not using lightdm, but my understanding is that it's as minimalist as you can get while still technically using a display manager. Check into its configuration in /etc/config, etc. Find out exactly what it's using (launching) for an xinitrc. Also check out ~/.X*, and see if there are any user-local errors or logs of use. Thanks, got it working by recompiling udev as mentioned in the last comment here: http://hwoarang.silverarrow.org/2011/09/18/lightdm-on-gentoo-artwork-needed/ - Grant It stopped working. I have the same problem described here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395327 It hangs with this from /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log: DEBUG: Waiting for ready signal from X server :0 It does this on 2 of my systems but succeeds on the other. The next lines on the successful system are: DEBUG: Acquired bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager DEBUG: Registering seat with bus path /org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0 The fix described in the bug is to add dbus to use in /etc/init.d/xdm but dbus is already in there. dbus is currently started on all 3 systems. Any ideas? - Grant

I removed dbus from all runlevels and rebooted it's still working. I don't get it. I rebooted many times this morning and it never worked once. - Grant

I think I just need to make sure dbus starts before xdm. Can anyone suggest an /etc/init.d/xdm change for this and should I file a bug? - Grant
