[SOLVED] [OpenRC] Boot into LightDM

So I'm aware of this change, but I am probably doing something wrong. I have enabled the service with
Code: [Select]
rc-update add lightdm default
, but after rebooting, the system doesn't boot into LightDM. Can anyone help?

this change was in January 2021, really you set up it now? wow
we can help, if you put here some logs....  ;)
ideally Xorg.0.log and lightdm.log from /var/log

edit:
you used lightdm before without problems, i suppose

Code: [Select]
usr/bin/openrc-run

command="/usr/bin/lightdm"
pidfile="/run/${RC_SVCNAME}.pid"
command_background=true

depend() {
    need localmount

    after bootmisc consolefont modules netmount
    after ypbind autofs openvpn gpm lircmd
    after quota keymaps acpid
    before alsasound
    want elogind
    use xfs
    provide xdm
}
script is simple,  it just call /usr/bin/lightdm command...

Thanks, I found the error in lightdm.log. I somehow forgot to install

I have another problem now. LightDM doesn't boot after init and instead shows a single blinking underscore. I can access TTY from there, but it also gives me this message:
Code: [Select]
Cannot open display "default display"

Here are my logs:

Install and load those kernel modules. You'll need nvidia and nvidia-utils, and I'd also have xf86-video-nouveau just in case.

I find this tutorial about installing Artix from scratch to be very good: https://youtu.be/XO5LTmIhUTs

I had all of these installed.
Code: [Select]
sudo modprobe nouveau
did the trick. However, I want 1. to use the proprietary drivers and 2. LightDM to launch instantly. What am I missing?

1. If your card isn't supported by the nv driver, then you must use nouveau. But first try to disable nouveau and use nv.

More about NVIDIA here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA

2. This depends on your definition of "instantly". In my opinion, having a DM at all is bloat. I use tty login to log onto the system and my .bash_profile runs startx. That would be the fastest possible login on X.
