[OpenRC] Install KDE, XDM and SDDM correctly

30 January 2021, 20:51:04

Well, I was trying to install artix linux on a virtual machine before putting it on my real machine, but I have a problem, I followed the installation wiki instructions to install a DE and all that, but it still doesn't work as it should (I guess).

When I start artix it appears XDM but it doesn't appear with SDDM which is the one that is supposed to appear by the configuration file in /etc/conf.d/xdm (I think). And when I start sddm manually, I can enter XFCE in the same TTY, but with KDE I have to manually switch to TTY7 (CTRL+ALT+F7) to be able to see the KDE desktop environment.

Am I doing something wrong or am I really bad at figuring this kind of stuff out?

maybe because this? https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,2161.0.html <------- read this topic/announce. you should now start sddm with sddm-openrc, no xdm more. what you did is obsolete

P.S. is this obsolete setting still in our wiki
