Gdm is not available on my system (by default) since I run KDE. Sddm works, except that I had to change SDDM > Behavior from "Plasma (X11)" where I found it to "Plasma (Wayland)" and back in order to get sessions to start using X11 rather than Wayland. Now that I am running X11, sddm behaves strangely: It runs properly when invoked in System Settings but when I run it from the command line ($ sddm), I see this: $ sddm [06:49:24.239] (EE) DAEMON: Failed to open VT master: Permission denied [06:49:24.243] (EE) DAEMON: Failed to read display number from pipe [06:49:24.243] (WW) DAEMON: Attempt 1 starting the Display server on vt -1 failed [06:49:26.348] (EE) DAEMON: Failed to read display number from pipe [06:49:26.348] (WW) DAEMON: Attempt 2 starting the Display server on vt -1 failed [06:49:28.352] (EE) DAEMON: Failed to read display number from pipe [06:49:28.352] (WW) DAEMON: Attempt 3 starting the Display server on vt -1 failed [06:49:28.352] (EE) DAEMON: Could not start Display server on vt -1 Running sddm using "$ sudo sddm" starts a completely new session. I don't remember this happening under Wayland. -- Sincerely Jonathan Ryshpan <jonrysh@xxxxxxxxxxx> If one foot is on fire and the other is frozen to the floor on the average you are doing OK. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
