Alternative Display Manager

Hello all,
I decided to spank out gdm and replace it with WINGs Display Manager to give my experience a more classic look. The only thing is, for some reason it doesn't seem to be loading automatically. When I boot I get the trisquel splash screen, and then I see a login in a terminal screen, and then it just goes blank.
The only way I've found I can get into my desktop is to 'alt+F1' to a new login screen and type in 'sudo service wdm start'. This allows me to login and loads the GUI desktop.
Any suggestions? Log files I can look at?
Thanks,
grimlok
GDM? Trisquel 7 doesn't use that by default. It uses LightDM. ;)
Yeah, I did a direct upgrade from Trisquel 6, so I think it kept gdm from that. I could be wrong though. All I know, is when I booted up after the upgrade I still was running gdm.
try:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
it should come up with a option to chose your dm
at least it did when i installed gdm so i assume so
you could also try installing kdm as this gives you the option to chose which one you want in the installer
I have a DM that I would like to use, which is WINGs DM or WDM, the problem isn't that. I want to find out why it's not starting and why I have to start it manually.
Thanks though.
i was suggesting it as it may come up with a option to select your dm as the default when you start it up
as it did for me
heres what happens when you run dpkg-reconfigure kdm
for example
you get to chose which one you want to boot in to
Yeah I have run that. That's what lead me to removing gdm all together. I now only have wdm on my laptop, but it still doesn't want to load unless I load it. During startup, I can see that it does try to start, but it never goes through with it.
