I installed LDM from here: software.opensuse.org:
But I cant figure out what to do next…
Please help…
It might aid our support effort to be a little more descriptive. All I can guess is you want to enable lightdm as the default display manager.
- Start Yast control center.
- Open the /etc/sysconfig/ editor module.
- Search for displaymanager
. Highlight the DISPLAYMANAGER key and click “go to”. 1. Change the ‘Setting of: DISPLAYMANAGER’ to the value lightdm
. 1. Press ok, and then reboot the computer.

what to do:
tell us what operating system and version you are running…
and, why you installed LDM?
what you expected to find once you did?
which DE do you intend to use with your new DM?
what have you so far done to try to figure out what to do next?
like, do you know what is possible to do, and what is not?
have you, for example done any reading in:

No need to reboot. Just init 3, init 5, at most.

I know this. I decided to just say ‘reboot’ instead.

With 12.1 yes. With 12.2 I don’t remember, but I think it does. In
openSUSE at least there is a compatibility layer that facilitates some
things. Not as before, but it is some help…
For example, chkconfig should also work.

For the forseeable (and maybe forever) future systemd is supposed to support everything that is configured to use sysV init by a special sysV “unit.”
But at some point everything will be converted to systemd for a unified and better managed system.
Is one of the things I like how systemd is being integrated, all legacy architectures it’s replacing continue to be fully supported and people can choose when to change, nothing is forced.

Mmm.
What I dislike is that those very nice words are not being fulfilled.

I had tried using ldm before as the value but since it didnt work, I wrote in this forum. Your instructions worked great. Thanx a lot!!!
But…
I am not getting the style that is there in Ubuntu rather it is somewhat like the Xubuntu login menu. How do I get the Ubuntu style in ldm? I have OpenSUSE 12.2…
Thanx…
You may need to change these in succession and test how they look :-
lightdm-gtk-greeter-branding-upstream
lightdm-gtk-greeter-branding-openSUSE
lightdm-gtk-greeter-branding-basedonopensuse
Thanx for your reply but none of them worked…!
Did they change the screen though ?
I think in the basedonopensuse, the background had become black…
