[Bug 1064961] New: Display manage is always gdm
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1064961 Bug ID: 1064961 Summary: Display manage is always gdm Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: kyrimis@alumni.princeton.edu QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- After the 20171022 update, the display manager is always gdm, ignoring the DISPLAYMANAGER setting in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. First time I saw this, I checked using yast, and saw that the setting was still sddm. I reset it to the default, then specified sddm again, rebooted, and still got gdm. I then edited /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager by hand, trying various values: sddm, lightdm (both are installed on my computer) and even /usr/bin/sddm, rebooting each time; I still got gdm. I even tried making /usr/bin/gdm a symbolic link to /usr/bin/sddm and still got gdm after a reboot. The latter suggests that gdm is somehow hard-coded into the system. Personal preferences aside, gdm leaves tons of gdm and gnome processes running, and also seems to change the display DPI, which I had to force to 96 dpi in the plasma settings, so it is not an appropriate display manager for those not running gnome. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
