Excellent! And you know you have a working fallback, which is always nice when testing. It's strange that a desktop manager would affect this, since it is the desktop that performs the actions that are having problems. Maybe you eliminated some gnome dependency that cinnamon and mate were depending on? Or maybe you are right, and it is some permission or configuration that lightdm is not completing as gdm does. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/ZNW3BQRSGEOEW7FG46F6QBTIL6CHV4PK/
