Lightdm is a light display manager. It's an excellent alternative to gdm, & kdm. Lightdm is used in conjunction with {{package|x11-apps/xdm}}.<br />
<br />
=== Install ===<br />
<br />
<console>###i## emerge lightdm</console><br />
<br />
=== Configuration ===<br />
Lightdm is configured with <code>/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf</code>, and <code>/etc/conf.d/xdm</code>. By default, lightdm ships with lightdm-gtk-greeter which is controlled by <code>/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf</code><br />
<br />
<br />
You'll need to edit the folloing file to tell the system which display manager to use. Change the xdm file to the following: <br />
{{file|name=/etc/conf.d/xdm|lang=|desc=xdm configuration to use lightdm|body=<br />
DISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm"<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If you want the user to type in the username, you can set these options. <br />
{{file|name=/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf|lang=|desc=to make users manually enter the user name|body=<br />
[SeatDefaults]<br />
greeter-hide-users=true<br />
greeter-show-manual-login=true<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Greeters ===<br />
LightDM will be pretty useless for graphical logins with out the addition of a greeter for it.<br />
<br />
For GTK fans:<br />
{{console|body=###i## emerge x11-misc/lightdm-gtk-greeter}}<br />
<br />
for KDE fans:<br />
{{console|body=###i## emerge x11-misc/lightdm-kde}}<br />
<br />
To start LightDM on boot, add dbus & xdm to the default runlevel. dbus may already be added. <br />
{{console|body=###i## rc-update add xdm default}}<br />
{{console|body=###i##rc-update add dbus default}}<br />
<br />
If you wish to change the background, you can follow these settings:<br />
<br />
For LightDM GTK+ greeter edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf:<br />
<br />
background=/path/to/wallpaper/file.png<br />
<br />
LightDM should display on reboot, which you may want to do now. <br />

|Summary=Simple Login Manager<br />
|CatPkg=x11-misc/slim<br />
|Homepage=http://sourceforge.net/projects/slim.berlios/<br />

Slim is a simple, easy to configure, light weight display manager.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Initial Setup and Installation ===<br />
====Emerge SLiM====<br />
SLiM can be installed by simply<br />
{{console|body=###i## emerge -a x11-misc/slim}}<br />
<br />
It's necessary to put x11-misc because there is another package by the same name, and portage wants to know <br />
which you actually wish to install. The -a option stands for --ask, and portage will wait for a Y or N entry from you. <br />
You may leave this step out, as SLiM usually installs only itself and no other dependent packages. <br />
<br />
===Configration===<br />
====Editing Files====<br />
You must have root access to edit these configuration files. Most of the configuration file<br />
is pretty simple to understand, and is well commented. If you're unsure what a feature does, <br />
it should be briefly explained in the comments above that particular command. Here are<br />
some useful edits to make after emerging SLiM. <br />
<br />
==== Auto Name Entry ====<br />
This will start SLiM with your username already in the field. This is turned off by default. <br />
You'll need to uncomment the line (delete the #) and change the username to whatever <br />
you like. <br />
{{file|name=/etc/slim.conf|lang=|desc=|body=<br />
default_user funtoo<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==== Auto Login ====<br />
This will automatically log you in, without a password needed. <br />
You will still be able to switch users if you need to log out. <br />
{{file|name=/etc/slim.conf|lang=|desc=|body=<br />
auto_login yes<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Customizing the theme ====<br />
The fastest way to get going with customization is to match the wallpaper with your selected desktop wallpaper! <br />
This provides a slick transition from SLiM into your window manager or desktop environment. <br />
<br />
To share a wallpaper between SLiM and your desktop, rename the used theme background, then create a link from your desktop wallpaper file to the default SLiM theme:<br />
<br />
{{console|body=###i## mv /usr/share/slim/themes/default/background.jpg{,.bck} <br />
###i## ln -s /path/to/mywallpaper.jpg /usr/share/slim/themes/default/background.jpg}}<br />
<br />
That first command changes the current background file's extension (.jpg in this case) to .bak. SLiM won't know how to read a ,bak file. <br />
The second command make a symbolic link (the -s option) from the wallpaper you have in your directory to the place SLiM looks for <br />
a background! You could also try a .png if you have that type of file. <br />
