And just a warning: The lightdm display manager has issues with pam_kwallet and pam_kwallet5 if they're installed. If you decide to use lightdm, edit the /etc/pam.d/lightdm file and comment out any lines that reference pam_kwallet*.so. Since you're using lxdm you should be fine, but I just wanted to put that warning out there. The bugzilla I opened on it hasn't been resolved yet to my knowledge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - If the enemy's in range...so are you! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ 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/WI3WOXCHTKAROHABDJAPJFZIX5I3XI46/
