This means that /etc/mtab correction: /etc/initab is no longer used, which breaks our system for autostarting the Desktop Manager(DM) (and so the Desktop).
So far, i've found a couple of ways around this:
for example, if you're using LightDM,
install (live and to your extracted DE module) package : displaymanager-openrc (this supplies the openrc service for starting a DM)
edit /etc/conf.d/xdm
change line:
Code: Select all
DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm"
Code: Select all
DISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm"
Code: Select all
sudo rc-update add xdm default
some notes:
lxdm doesnt seem to be viable because of a bug which causes it to crash on first startup..
slim isn't included in the xdm openrc service script (although i have managed to get it to work via a roundabout way(lengthy))
