I am currently integrating GDM to my XFCE image. I was hoping that it's as easy as adding GDM as the graphical init manager (in local.conf), but it looks like PolicyKit, Console Kit, PAM, gconf, gconf-sanity (as per meta-angstrom) all need to be correctly configured for GDM to work. This integration of multiple frameworks is not what I had in mind. So I am now searching for alternative - something more lightweight and with less dependency. meta-oe contains another login manager 'slim', except it's no longer maintained and has been moved to nonworking directory within the tree. I don't see any other. Thank you, Adam ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

GDM works without the pk-gnome and ck libdir symlinks, but it's a pain in the ass to get it working with a non-GNOME session by default. To get autologin working again: https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/meta-oe/commit/26d1cca7ef9bb2e656ba6998adc4c99810654fb9 This used to work, but I'm debugging why it doesn't anymore: https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/meta-angstrom/blob/angstrom-v2013.12-yocto1.5/recipes-tweaks/gdm/angstrom-gdm-xfce-hack.bb I'm slowly debugging GDM issues for Angstrom v2013.12 and will send patches to meta-oe/master soon(-ish). But to answer your question: Andreas uses 'lxdm' in his xfce images in the meta-misc layer. It's on my list to try out so I can't say if it works right now. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iD8DBQFTBGSoMkyGM64RGpERApCvAJ9N9N+3YY6DvDXJMAi+hLmgR/aw8QCgq9Qc NUOrhTxjxhLllVNETM8QU00= =m7et -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

The former pretty depends only on X11 libs and png (with optional pam and dbus/consolekit integration). OTOH, lxdm has about the same pam/consolekit features, but depends on gtk[2|3].
