 |
|
Since some update openrc to 0.30 or sddm to 0.15, I got following
| Code: | ~ $ sudo rc-service xdm stop
xdm | * Stopping sddm ...
xdm | * start-stop-daemon: no matching processes found [ ok ]
~ $ sudo rc-service xdm restart
xdm | * Setting up sddm ...
xdm | * start-stop-daemon: /usr/bin/sddm is already running
xdm | * ERROR: could not start the Display Manager [ ok ]
~ $ sudo rc-service xdm restart
xdm | * Stopping sddm ...
xdm | * start-stop-daemon: no matching processes found [ ok ]
xdm | * Setting up sddm ...
xdm | * start-stop-daemon: /usr/bin/sddm is already running
xdm | * ERROR: could not start the Display Manager [ ok ] |
WTF?

This is a guess, but I am thinking when sddm is stopped, it isn't deleting it's pid file. and/or not using it...
According to my system, the /etc/init.d/xdm file has this for sddm
| Code: | sddm)
EXE="/usr/bin/sddm"
START_STOP_ARGS="-m --background"
PIDFILE=/run/sddm.pid
;;
*)
|
Just curious, could you check on your system if the PID file exists while sddm is running, and is removed when it is stopped?
You can always check the contents of the pid file (it's only a simple text file containing the process ID).
This would be good to see if this is an bug in either sddm or xdm... |

sddm is running -> | Code: | ~ $ sudo cat /run/sddm.pid

cat /etc/init.d/xdm -> | Code: | sddm)
EXE="/usr/bin/sddm"
START_STOP_ARGS="-m --background"

that doesn't show the process is running, just the pid file is present. This comes back to what ct85711 stated... maybe the pid file isn't being cleared
what is the output of sudo rc-service xdm stop; ps aux | grep -f /run/sddm.pid
