Display Manager Question

I've removed LightDM for my XFCE install of Artix s6 and replaced it with GDM but it doesn't load upon restart. I made sure to install the s6 scripts for GDM, entered the command s6-db-reload and removed the prior LightDM file. Was there a step I missed?

Did you add gdm to the default bundle?

That's most likely the issue, when I have time I'll try it out. Thank you.

Adding GDM to the bundle didn't work for me and I also removed the lightdm service too.

Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -S gdm-s6
sudo touch /etc/s6/adminsv/default/contents.d/gdm
sudo s6-db-reload
sudo reboot
Worked fine for me.

No file or directory even after doing it in that order.

Can you be more specific? Where are you getting that message? From what?
