The Entrance on Factory repo was old so I decided to package it and test it myself. Test it and verify if you also have problems. But I would recommend you to install it on Virtual Machine rather than your work machine.
After installing it, I found alot of problems.
- The UI of entrance is showing lag, it’s a little unresponsive.
- The entrance doesn’t remembers which DE booted last time. It always starts GNOME.
- After logging out of any DE the entrance doesn’t start. I get blank screen at tty7. To get the DM back I type the command
systemctl restart display-manager.service
That’s one part of the problem. I decided that I’m done with testing and changed my default DM to lxdm. Even then after logging out I the lxdm doesn’t start.
The 1st and 2nd problem are definitely problem of Entrance (upstream) but want to verify whether the problem is due to Entrance or anything else.
The guys at #e channel pointed out that maybe display-manager.service is not working properly.
akash@akash:~> systemctl status display-manager.service
display-manager.service - X Display Manager

Looking at the above output can anybody tell me if display-manager.service is working properly?
Now I’ll try and remove the Entrance to see if the problem solves.
