In actuality you just need one command.
systemctl -f enable sddm (or whatever new dm you want)
-f = force which means "When used with enable, overwrite any existing conflicting symlinks."
and no need to use ".service"
Bless you, SIR, bless you again, and bless you some more!
First I launched dnfdragora on the one machine that still gives me a graphical interface (by running F26 Rescue -- 26 no typo, *not* 28), and used the GUI to install as many display managers as I could find.
I noticed that lxdm seemed to be included in many groups. So I did dnf install with the console (from Ctrl-Alt-F2) on my #2 machine, which had been denying me any GUI, for love nor electrons. Then systemctl -f enable lxdm, and rebooted.
IT WORKED!!
It's not quite working on #3 yet, but I bet it will be in a day or three. I've already stopped feeling like I'm riding a bicycle along the edge of a cliff. Champagne is definitely indicated.
And just a warning: The lightdm display manager has issues with pam_kwallet and pam_kwallet5 if they're installed. If you decide to use lightdm, edit the /etc/pam.d/lightdm file and comment out any lines that reference pam_kwallet*.so.
Since you're using lxdm you should be fine, but I just wanted to put that warning out there. The bugzilla I opened on it hasn't been resolved yet to my knowledge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - If the enemy's in range...so are you! - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
