Request: MDM (mint display manager) as standalone DM

view story
linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I personally haven't got it working yet, mainly because I'm happy with LightDM. I had a look at the Linux Mint version of MDM and (annoyingly) they have named it the same but it is different, so unfortunately I have no idea what dependencies there are. Mate-display-manager doesn't seem to be currently getting worked on, so you'll probably have to choose one of the ones you listed.I personally recommend LightDM, it works great with Mate at least.

If you just want to automount partitions, have a look here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Th … tomounting

I'm getting this too, I removed openjdk6 ages ago and installed jre and jdk. I think there's some package that has it listed as a dependency to install?EDIT: icedtea-web seems to require it and wants to install it. What is wrong with the jre and jdk?

I once tar'd a (huge) drive which took hours, so I could reformat it. Went to restore it and the tarball was corrupt and unrecoverable. Learned my lesson: I'm an idiot, check the backups before relying on them.

The OP can read their partition initially though, it's only after udev that they can't.Also, try adding "rootfstype=ext4" to your grub kernel line. Is your /boot on a separate partition or part of your / partition?

Do you have either of the files /usr/bin/mate-autogen, /usr/bin/mate-autogen.sh? Also, you should use code tags in the future.

Just switched from LXDM to LightDM also.It seems that there is somebody trying to implement systemd-logind support for LightDM.And the developers of LightDM welcomes the patch.https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/930488So maybe what we need to do is just wait for some time.

Is it currently impossible to get lightdm working without support for systemd-logind?In archlinux , yes!
