well I am surprised..running lxdm does not leave to any bork as such....but some minor errors .Before I opened terminal I get this error message....note that I was root and ran lxdm but normally I login as guest
Next I open a terminal and get
Code: Select all
Failed to connect to bus: Permission denied
guest ~ $ whoami
guest
cat /proc/cmdline
quiet root=LABEL=p3 changes=/porteus volume=100% 3
Maybe if some people use a cheatcode of login=root.....they can't login as a sign that they should login as guest?

lxdm has to be run as root. From there it manages the login from /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf which has guest as login user. So it looks like the lxdm quit is only in the openrc version. Thanks.

well if lxdm was not working I might have tried as root
Code: Select all
systemctl status lxdm.service
(and if not active)
systemctl start lxdm.service
so maybe

By default, a graphical Display Manager is not enabled; for that one would need to install displaymanager-openrc, configure one’s display manager in /etc/conf.d/xdm, and enable and start the xdm service.
but mention is made about lxdm
lightdm and a lightdm-greeter (like lightdm-gtk-greeter) should be installed to use lightdm as display manager. A guide is available on the forums.
An alternative to lightdm is LXDM. However the version in the repository does not automatically start a ck-session on login; alternative lxdm-consolekit from the AUR can be used.
For more information about consolekit, have a look at the Consolekit section.

so staying with this last link....when you are in openrc try this
will probably show no lxdm* so then try
assuming you agree that you have some extra config setup to get lxdm working to replace the default login-manager xdm
the "but mention is made about lxdm" has 4 links embedded that don't show as I used a quote box, the main link being
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lxdm-consolekit/
and then using the 'just peeking" link you might like to try
