Hi All,

I do adore lxdm (I've had issues with lightdm.)

I finally wrote down how to set lxdm up.

-T


lxdm: installing

Note: you can <ctrl><alt>f2> to open a command prompt as root if needed.

[1]  if lightdm is installed:
     # systemctl disable lightdm
     # dnf remove lightdm

[2] install lxdm:
    # dnf install lxdm --allowerasing
    # systemctl enable lightdm

[3] edit lxdm.conf for
    a) any autologins and
    b) desired session (default does not always catch it)
        Mate: session=/usr/bin/mate-session
        Xfce: session=/usr/bin/startxfce4

# vi /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf

[base]
## uncomment and set autologin username to enable autologin
# autologin=todd
autologin=todd

## default session or desktop used when no systemwide config
# session=/usr/bin/startlxde
session=/usr/bin/startxfce4


[4] reboot

[5]  if lxdm does not auto start but does start from
          # systemctl start lxdm

     run the following:
          # systemctl set-default graphical.target
          # systemctl enable -f lxdm
          reboot
