#lightdm — Public Fediverse posts

Ah, what a lovely morning to figure out why my desktop suddenly isn't starting...

(I figured it out. I just needed to update my graphics drivers)
#archlinux #lightdm

pas le choix, faut que je remette les mains dedans et le faire fonctionner : passer un #kodi en autostart fullscreen via #systemd via probablememt #lightdm pour basculer sur #kde en cas de quit kodi pour basculer en mode desktop avec #kdeconnect

I finally got OpenHamClock auto launching on my Raspberry Pi 5, using the kiosk installer from them

Lightdm wouldn't auto login, no matter which setting file I changed, nor what I changed it to

Eventually, out of desperation, I switched to gdm3 and now it's working perfectly as I expected, lol

That was an hour of debugging I wish I had back, lol

#OpenHamClock #HamRadio #Lightdm #RaspberryPi

So...on my laptop, the Desktop Manager hides possible users on login. That's good for rubber hose security (only if I have password root login disabled) #lightdm

But my phone is another story. All users are known once logged in. There is no "hide other users" password. I often read about people getting popped by the police for political posts. ICE murders and disappears people for this kind of thing. Would be nice to have a certain password to log into a curated "work" safe account with a browsing history and photos I share with my boss.

This is also a post about #GraphineOS which may be secure, but not against the old rubber hose security bypass trick. And every ICE roadblock with guns pulled out.

#security

PRO: I can configure the whole system like I want. I don't have to live with crazy settings/features imposed on me by MS

CON: I will configure everything. Sent from a system with themed #desktop, #lightdm, #plymouth and #grub 😬

#Linux

Spent last 2 days, during nap hours of the little one, to install #FreeBSD on my old HP EliteBook 840 G3 :ablobcatbongo:

It has been really interesting, faced some problems with hardware driver and crash that needed me to understand how to unload modules before boot, but at the end I've everything working fine for graphics and wireless drivers

Even installed #xfce and #lightdm to get a nice desktop environment

The pkg package manager is pretty similar to the #Linux #Debian apt so not totally lost here :ablobcatcoffee:

Still a lot to learn but the FreeBSD handbook is well writen

I won't stop to use Linux but it's a good experience ton learn here

Ich habe auf meinem #Linux Desktop Rechner mal ein wenig mit den Displaymanagern rumgespielt.
Hintergrund: Ich habe ursprünglich den #Fedora #Cinnamon Spin installiert. Inzwischen nutze ich aber nur noch KDE. Da #Cinnamon den #LightDM als Desktopmanager hat und KDE als Standard eigentlich den #sddm dachte ich mir ich wechsle um es konsistent zu haben.
sddm fand ich gruselig. Habe dann #gdm probiert. Noch schlimmer.
Ich bin jetzt zurück auf LightDM und bleibe dabei. sddm und gdm werden gelöscht

Als am letzten Donnerstag mein #glasfaseranschluss ausgefallen ist, kam es seltsamerweise gleichzeitig zum beinahe Komlettausfall meines #manjaro #linux Systems.
Von jetzt auf gleich startete die grafische Oberfläche nicht mehr, #lightdm wollte einfach nicht mehr starten.
Vom USB-Stick konnte ich das Manjaro #Livesystem starten. Die #grafikkarte (bzw. #onboard Grafik, AMD) funktioniert also im Prinzip.
Bleibt mir nur noch die Konsole und die Hoffnung, dass ich bei Rückkehr des Internets #sddm installieren kann oder ein #update Abhilfe bringt und es dann hoffentlich wieder läuft.
Für Anregungen, was die Ursache sein könnte und wie man das Problem lösen könnte, bin ich dankbar.

alright, so lesson learned: if you have the display-setup-script parameter set in lightdm.conf to automatically configure multiple monitors with xrandr and you change what inputs the monitors are connected to without fixing the script it will not just quietly fail, log an error somewhere obvious and continue. it will hang the machine on a black screen with a blinking cursor at startup and will not allow you to get to the login screen

this has been my frustration for most of today, i set that script up so long ago i barely remember it existed

#linux #lightdm

Starting to check out #niri - still having some strange issues launching it from #lightDm where I lose all keyboard input. Launching it from console seems to work fine if I’ve already logged in with gnome (Wayland) or sway.

Probably just need to rtfm tbh

Weird #FreeBSD issue on my x260 #laptop - after the latest update (I’m on 14.3-RELEASE-p1) with Gnome 47, #GDM lost the ability to switch over to #Gnome (on #Xorg): the session just hangs. I can switch to a console and stop GDM without issue but can’t get past the login screen. I can login using #lightdm, for some reason, so it doesn’t seem to be a general issue with Gnome…
Looks related to https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=287955

Warum ich heute müde bin? Weil ich kurz vorm Schlafengehen diesen Fehler-Screen auf dem Laptop bekam und dann eine Stunde genervt-panisch versucht habe, das Notebook wieder an den Start zu bekommen.

Irgendwas hat #GDM zerschossen. Also nicht Ich, sondern irgendetwas, denn ich habe seit Wochen nichts umkonfiguriert oder hinzuinstalliert, nur brav alle 1-2 Tage Updates installiert.
Ich habe keine Ahnung, was genau und warum das ausgelöst hat, aber mit #LightDM startet das Ding wieder ohne Murren. Das muss diese Instabilität von #Arch sein, vor der mich immer alle gewarnt haben. #Linux

UPDATE: Hier sind Fehler und Lösung beschrieben: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=306254 (Danke, @boris_pohler !)

Does anyone actually have a keyring working with #hyprland? Unlock on login, saving ssh keys, etc? Using #lightdm.

Heute hat mich #manjaro #linux verlassen. Es ging damit los, dass nach einem Reboot #lightdm nicht mehr startete. Booten von Manjaro vom USB-Stick brachte es auch nicht.
Ein anderer älterer Rechner sollte übergangsweise als Ersatz dienen, alte Grafikkarte, kein Erfolg. Ich verzweifele.
Alle Rechner haben #grafikkarten von #nvidia drin. So krass noch nie erlebt.
Neues System ist bestellt und war eigentlich schon längst überfällig.

Weekends? Just another chance to debug lightdm, wrestle with XFCE configs, and chase permission issues in log files.
The BashCoreX madness never sleeps...

#Linux #XFCE #LightDM #Logs #Permissions #DevLife #OpenSource #BashCoreX #WeekendCoding

Anyone use #lightdm on #freeBSD? For some reason on #GhostBSD even though locale is correct, the time is correct, etc - the login screen uses UTC. I can fix it with bsdconfig timezone.

I noticed it a couple years ago and never got around to investigating. I can't figure out where the problem could be.

Снова экспериментирую с DE. Хотя #xfce устраивал меня почти всем, нашёлся один очень неприятный баг при работе в связке с lightdm: после разблокировки пропадал текстовый курсор и переставал работать ввод с клавиатуры, приходилось несколько раз переключаться мышью между окнами, чтобы курсор снова появился. Возможно, как-то связано с тем, что компьютер многопользовательский, и у второго второго пользователя — LXDE.
Сначала сменил #lightdm на gdm. Баг это побороло, но породило другую проблему: при переключении пользователей через gdm то и дело выдавалась ошибка «Сеанс уже запущен». В итоге вернулся на lightdm, а в качестве среды от безысходности поставил #Cinnamon. И, как это ни странно, он вполне мне понравился! Выглядит куда более современно! Оперативки, правда, занимает со всеми апплетами около 450 Мб, но по сравнению с 400 у XFCe разница не так уж и существенна.
А ещё радует то, что при разблокировке экрана язык ввода пароля всегда английский (казалось бы, мелочь, но когда пользовался XScreenSaver, очень раздражало, когда раскладка оказывалась не та, и компьютер блокировался на несколько секунд). Правда, с настройкой под свои привычки пришлось немного повозиться, слишком уж внешний вид по умолчанию отличается от того, к чему я привык (и то до сих пор не нашёл, как менять порядок значков в systray). Но пока в целом всё работает стабильно и меня устраивает. #linux #desktop_environment

seriously though.
where does Mutter/ Budgie come from? it seems to be independent of the KDE/ Gnome universes.
I dunno. I feel like I see components from this or that, in that or this and it's keeping track. But does it matter.

I do know it matters when I'm messing around w/ the old #HDMI out on the #Funai #Magnavox thing from nineteen eighty 'fore.

@peppe thaks man... it feels good, as I'm on the suck train for a while now 😅

Since I've switched themes, LightDM stopped working, and I can't log in until I first log in on an other TTY in text mode... Apparently opening the #LightDM greeter settings app screwed everything up? Now I'm looking for an alternative, but nothing else seem to support a "switch user" type feature?

Hatte ich schon laaange geplant:
slick-greeter ( #linuxmint ) getauscht gegen lightdm-gtk-greeter inklusive der Einstellungs-tools & Loginwallpaper.
#lightdm #debian

DeepSeek로 리눅스 로그인 화면 바꿈(sddm에서 lightdm-lightdm-slick-greeter 설치 후 삽질하다가 lightdm-settings 설치하여 끝냄.)

Spent 6 hours to configure #Hyperland the way it's not annoying and can do the same thing or at least it works similar way as #leftwm does. It works. I already hate I had to swap #lightdm out as I couldn't start Hyperland with it at all :( I like lightdm and it works, now I have sddm and I spent like 1.5 hours just on that bullshit to configure a f*ing theme that's not ugly and it works :( Probably worst experience with dms ever and I started using linux in the previous millennium (lol, I know it's still called 90s but "previous millennium" sounds way cooler, and you can't change my mind).

For everything else, well I had to rewrite a lot of things, for example my maim scripts had to be rewritten to use grim and slurp. Basically a lot of tools had to be rewritten. I still use rofi because wofi doesn't support all features the same way as rofi does and I had zero intention to rewrite my 100+ lines long rasi files as wofi config and css and figure out everything for that. rofi stays for a while.

روی یکی از سیستم‌هام #freebsd نصب کردم و می‌خوام #xfce روش اجرا کنم. نصب رو با استفاده از مستندات توزیع انجام دادم. ولی برخلاف گنو/لینوکس با اجرای سرویس #lightdm اتفاقی نمی‌افته. بر اساس جستجو‌هام کارهایی نظیر اضافه کردن یوزر به گروه ویدیو، اجرای سرویس dbus رو تست کردم اما جواب نگرفتم.
کسی در این خصوص تجربه‌ای داشته؟
