Title: New OpenRC Display Manager Initializer Scripts
Author: Aisha Tammy <gentoo@aisha.cc>
Posted: 2021-01-30
Revision: 4
News-Item-Format: 2.0
Display-If-Installed: sys-apps/openrc
There has been a refactoring of the old 'xdm' init script and its
requirements from various packages into an independent package:
gui-libs/display-manager-init
This package provides the 'display-manager' startup script for
handling your chosen display manager, without depending on
Xorg server. The old 'xdm' init script is no longer supported
and is going to be removed in the next version of xorg-server,
so it is imperative that you shift to display-manager-init.
To update to the new DM init scripts, you need to manually add the
package in your @world set:
emerge -vuDU gui-libs/display-manager-init
To start using the new init scripts, either copy your
existing /etc/conf.d/xdm to /etc/conf.d/displaymanager or
change the DISPLAYMANAGER variable in
/etc/conf.d/display-manager to your preferred DM:
DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"
and remove 'xdm' from the default runlevel and add 'display-manager':
rc-update del xdm default
rc-update add display-manager default
The changes are complete and on the next reboot, 'display-manager'
will start your chosen DM.
To switch to the new scripts without rebooting, run the following
commands in a tty:
rc-service xdm stop
rc-service display-manager start
