Hi All,

I am trying to change the login manager but after I do Devuan will not load it.

I installed lightdm and ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm or slim, does not matter, change the login manager to lightdm.

After I reboot, it stops on the shell prompt to login. I login and run startx but it give me a message saying the it cant load because slim is not the default login manager.

Ran the above command, restored slim and disabled the heed login manager default from its true state and it still will not load.

I checked the /ect/init.d scripts and other than the heed, I cant see any reference that might stop lightdm from loading.

I even removed slim and it still wont load lightdm.

This is not normally such a hard task but this one has me stumped.

Im running latest excalibur with openrc init.

Sorry bud I need to change it because slim sends me over the edge.

Normally you are just able to change the manager using dpkg but this is just bizarre.

I am in the sudo group and it happens even when I am running as root as well.

It has me perplexed and makes no sense to me.
