How to install & Configure LXDM ?

Hi there, first the package lxdm of the repository never install properly because ever exit with status error code 1.

#dpkg: error al procesar el paquete lxdm (--configure):
#el subproceso instalado el script post-installation devolvió el código de salida de error 1

i make my own script for install and configure (the major part)

#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd /tmp
if [ -f /tmp/lxdm-0.5.3.tar.xz ]
then
	tar xf lxdm-0.5.3.tar.xz ; cd lxdm-0.5.3
else
	wget -c https://downloads.sourceforge.net/lxdm/lxdm-0.5.3.tar.xz
	tar xf lxdm-0.5.3.tar.xz ; cd lxdm-0.5.3
fi

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-pam --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no
make
make install

echo '#!/bin/sh

sudo rc-update add lxdm default

Just for not recibe the error
"Xsession : unable to launch "lightdm-xsession" X session --- "lightdm-xsession" not found; falling back to default session.
Copy & Paste the follow in a terminal window :

echo '[Desktop]
Session=xfce

Layout=es' | tee ~/.dmrc

Well in session just replace "xfce" for your desktop environment.

Ok the unique problem for me its i don't know the things i must do for enable the automatic start of lxdm?

Re: How to install & Configure LXDM ?

Trying with :

update-rc del lxdm default
update-rc.d lxdm defaults 30 01 >/dev/null 2>&1

The same. its not autostarting lxdm after start the rest of openrc services.

Re: How to install & Configure LXDM ?

The openrc command to add a service to the default runlevel would be:

rc-update add lxdm default

This should create a symlink for the lxdm init script in /etc/runlevels/default (pointing to /etc/init.d), and thus openrc should autostart it upon boot.

Re: How to install & Configure LXDM ?

Post the results of the following commands (root required!)

dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt
rc-update show > rc-level.txt
uname -a

You can copy the results of the last command directly, but the other commands each produce a text file. Post the contents of these files.
