| saptech | hello all | 02:42 |
|---|---|---|
| saptech | I'm finally making the upgrade to 18.10 following this link, https://manual.lubuntu.me/D/upgrading.html | 02:43 |
| docEbrown | saptech good luck! | 02:44 |
| saptech | I noticed it mention that it recommends using SDDM display manager. Has anyone used the Switch User feature with sddm? | 02:44 |
| saptech | docEbrown, thanks | 02:45 |
| docEbrown | I haven't | 02:45 |
| lynorian | saptech: I have not either | 02:45 |
| saptech | well with other distros I've had bad luck with sddm and switch user. I chose it during the upgrade but will I be able to continue to use lxdm after the upgrade is done? | 02:46 |
| saptech | I'll wait and see how sddm work for a bit first | 02:46 |
| docEbrown | I haven't had much success with cleanly switching DMs on any distro, but let me know how you go. I'm interested to see how it works out | 02:47 |
| saptech | I've always used lxdm and have no problems with switch user, but lightdm & sddm I had issues, those three are the only DMs I've used | 02:50 |
| saptech | docEbrown, I'll keep you informed | 02:52 |
| docEbrown | 👍 | 02:52 |
| saptech | I use it with the wife, we have our own login profile because I mostly run Openbox for myself :) | 02:53 |
| docEbrown | cool | 02:53 |
| saptech | here goes the reboot into 18.10 | 03:31 |
| docEbrown | godspeed | 03:35 |
| saptech | upgrade was a success | 03:47 |
| docEbrown | saptech how did it go? | 05:20 |
| saptech | docEbrown, it went good | 05:23 |
| docEbrown | awesome | 05:23 |
| saptech | but, i'm not seeing the option to switch user in the menus | 05:23 |
| saptech | I can use xscreensaver as a work around I guess | 05:24 |
| docEbrown | if you run "lxdm -c USER" where USER is the username does it switch?? | 05:26 |
| saptech | I'll have to play around with it tomorrow, I see some other things I need to configure | 05:26 |
| docEbrown | fair enoug | 05:26 |
| docEbrown | *h | 05:26 |
| saptech | I haven't re-installed lxdm yet | 05:27 |
| saptech | it's using sddm for now | 05:27 |
| docEbrown | ha! I guess that answers my question ;) | 05:27 |
| saptech | lol | 05:27 |
| saptech | I'm getting ready for bed, need to get up in the morning but I need to reboot back into Mageia for the wife to use, her data hasn't been copied into lubuntu | 05:29 |
