Re: Installing another DE. ( solved kinda)

[Richard Shaw <hobbes1069@xxxxxxxxx>]

What does this show for you?

$ systemctl cat display-manager.service
# /usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service
[Unit]
Description=GNOME Display Manager

# replaces the getty
Conflicts=getty@tty1.service
After=getty@tty1.service

# replaces plymouth-quit since it quits plymouth on its own
Conflicts=plymouth-quit.service
After=plymouth-quit.service

# Needs all the dependencies of the services it's replacing
# pulled from getty@.service and plymouth-quit.service
# (except for plymouth-quit-wait.service since it waits until
# plymouth is quit, which we do)
After=rc-local.service plymouth-start.service systemd-user-sessions.service

# GDM takes responsibility for stopping plymouth, so if it fails
# for any reason, make sure plymouth still stops
_OnFailure_=plymouth-quit.service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gdm
KillMode=mixed
Restart=always
IgnoreSIGPIPE=no
BusName=org.gnome.DisplayManager
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=inherit
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/locale.conf
ExecReload=/bin/kill -SIGHUP $MAINPID
KeyringMode=shared

[Install]
Alias=display-manager.service

$ file /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service: symbolic link to /usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service

As you can see on my system display-manager.service is a symbolic link to gdm (Gnome Display Manager). Obviously that should be pointing to LightDM instead...

Thanks,

Richard
