On 4/24 at 8:37pm US mountain time, Ed suggested that I consider using sddm, at least to test. So I installed it. I reported back on 4/25 at 8:06pm. See the attached text file for the results of the install.
There were several error messages and two instructions. In my 4/25 at 8:06pm message, I asked:
What do I do about all those errors (4 pairs)?
Regarding the 2 instructions, I noted:
I think I saw the last 2 messages (about kdm.conf) before, probably when I did this past Thursday's patches. But I saw no hint of them in the dnf log file for those patches. What files am I being asked to update, and where are they?
I showed my attempts to deal with those instructions:
--------------- -bash.7[~]: cd /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ -bash.8[tmpfiles.d]: cat kdm.conf d /var/run/kdm/ 0711 root root - d /var/run/xdmctl 0711 root root - -bash.9[tmpfiles.d]: cd /var/run/kdm -bash.10[kdm]: ls -bash.11[kdm]: ls -la total 0 drwx--x--x. 2 root root 40 Apr 25 12:57 . drwxr-xr-x. 57 root root 1520 Apr 25 19:49 .. -bash.12[kdm]: cd /run/kdm -bash.13[kdm]: ls -la total 0 drwx--x--x. 2 root root 40 Apr 25 12:57 . drwxr-xr-x. 57 root root 1520 Apr 25 19:49 .. -bash.14[kdm]: ---------------
In a 4/25 at 8:23pm message, Ed responded regarding the instructions:
I wouldn't worry about them. /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/kdm.conf is related to the old display manager of KDE, kdm.
I would just enable sddm and see how it goes.
Other than the 2 instructions is there anything in the sddm installation output that I should give attention to?
Now on the the journal tests. This will take a while.
