--- Begin Message ---Package: sddm Version: 0.13.0-1 Severity: important Until the last update sddm (which I assume is the successor to kdm which I used on stable) was enabling users to choose the window manager of choice. Unfortunately, this was not automatic. This is no longer the case, i.e. all users are "stuck" with the window manager last used before the update. In my use case my wife uses plasma, while I'm using window maker. Now we both use window maker. Or is there another x session manager more suited for multi user (and multi preference users) systems? -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.5.5samd.10-grsec (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages sddm depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.59 ii libc6 2.24-3 ii libgcc1 1:6.1.1-11 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.3 ii libqt5core5a 5.6.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5dbus5 5.6.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5gui5 5.6.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5network5 5.6.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5qml5 5.6.1-11 ii libqt5quick5 5.6.1-11 ii libstdc++6 6.1.1-11 ii libsystemd0 231-9 ii libxcb-xkb1 1.12-1 ii libxcb1 1.12-1 ii qml-module-qtquick2 5.6.1-11 ii sddm-theme-breeze [sddm-theme] 4:5.8.0-1 Versions of packages sddm recommends: ii libpam-systemd 231-9 Versions of packages sddm suggests: ii libpam-kwallet5 5.8.0-1 -- debconf information: * shared/default-x-display-manager: sddm sddm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/sddm -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann deb...@helgefjell.de Dipl.-Phys. http://www.helgefjell.de/debian.php 64bit GNU powered gpg signed mail preferred Help keep free software "libre": http://www.ffii.de/
