Using Tumbleweed (VERSION_ID=“20190301”) and I want to switch from SDDM to LightDM. I cannot find any site that explains how to switch DM and the only way I know how is to change it in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager (I usually use YaST, but have been known to make manual changes, too). This is what is in my displaymanager file starting from the first line:
## Path: Desktop/Display manager
## Type: string(Xorg)
## Default: "Xorg"
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER="Xorg"
## Path: Desktop/Display manager
## Description: settings to generate a proper displaymanager config
## Type: string(kdm,xdm,gdm,wdm,entrance,console,lightdm,sddm)
## Default: ""
#
# Here you can set the default Display manager (kdm/xdm/gdm/wdm/entrance/console).
# all changes in this file require a restart of the displaymanager
#
## Path: Desktop/Display manager
## Description: settings to generate a proper displaymanager config
## Type: yesno
## Default: no
#
# Allow remote access (XDMCP) to your display manager (xdm/kdm/gdm). Please note
# that a modified kdm or xdm configuration, e.g. by KDE control center
# will not be changed. For gdm, values will be updated after change.
# XDMCP service should run only on trusted networks and you have to disable
# firewall for interfaces, where you want to provide this service.
#
DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="no"
To me, it looks like I am missing DEFAULT_DM. Is it okay to just add it? Or has switching DM changed? Thanks for any help, or for any sites to which you can direct me!
