Configurar lightDM en Debian 13 #lightdm #debian https://voragine.net/breves/configurar-lightdm-en-debian-13

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...

LightDM GTK+ sous Emmabuntus DE3 1.00

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.

#Linux annoyances: #LightDM hardcodes spammy .xsession-errors log file location into user's $HOME and there is no way to workaround it other than patching the program itself. Very annoying on a #lowend #Pi.

Multiple bug reports and patches proposing a trivial fix proposed since over a decade:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1001035
https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/issues/95
https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/pull/287
https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/pull/335

etc.

Developers, please don't mess with my $HOME.

#GUI #Usability #Rant

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

Linux Display Managers/ Window Managers:

#Linux #DM #WM #SDDM #LightDM #Mutter #xfwm #xdm #kwin #gdm ....
lol

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.

5️⃣ Up top!

@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?

#justLinuxThings I guess...

I just want to convey my heartfelt #greetingz to #greetd and #tuigreet while at the same time saying farewell to #lightdm and #sddm, you were just too much, sorry!

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

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.

New #Video on #Cinnamon 6.0.4 #DesktopEnvironment on #NixOS 24.05 performance benchmark https://youtu.be/ef18PbWWHe4. Ranked 36 on https://EveryByteCounts.org. While the performance is better than #LinuxMint, it is worse than #HannahMontanaLinux. Unfortunately both Mint and NixOS use the #LightDM #DisplayManager which Canonical abandoned 2 years ago. 617MB Memory Usage, 0.68 CPU Load, 7.1GB Disk Usage and 20 second Reboot time are all poor performance metrics compared to other options.

A new video https://youtu.be/2lzoz03s8FQ on #Budgie 10.9.1 #DesktopEnvironment on #NixOS 24.05 #Linux Performance Benchmark Comparison is Ranked 32nd on the https://EveryByteCounts.org #TierList. NixOS 24.05 uses the #LightDM #DisplayManager which appears to have been abandoned by the #developer Canonical 2.3 years ago.

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؟
