 |

Hey so I tired to follow the steps as follows, however I am blocked at step one
| Code: | There has been a refactoring of the old 'xdm' init script and its
requirements from various packages into an independent package:
gui-libs/display-manager-init
This package provides the 'display-manager' startup script for
handling your chosen display manager, without depending on
Xorg server. The old 'xdm' init script is no longer supported
and is going to be removed in the next version of xorg-server,
so it is imperative that you shift to display-manager-init.
To update to the new DM init scripts, you need to manually add the
package in your @world set:
emerge -vuDU gui-libs/display-manager-init
To start using the new init scripts, either copy your
existing /etc/conf.d/xdm to /etc/conf.d/displaymanager or
change the DISPLAYMANAGER variable in
/etc/conf.d/display-manager to your preferred DM:
DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"
and remove 'xdm' from the default runlevel and add 'display-manager':
rc-update del xdm default
rc-update add display-manager default
The changes are complete and on the next reboot, 'display-manager'
will start your chosen DM.
To switch to the new scripts without rebooting, run the following
commands in a tty:
rc-service xdm stop
rc-service display-manager start
|
When I run | Code: | | emerge -vuDU gui-libs/display-manager-init |
I get
| Code: | ~ # emerge -vuDU gui-libs/display-manager-init
Unavailable repository 'bobwya' referenced by masters entry in '/var/lib/layman/thegreatmcpain/metadata/layout.conf'
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

This change was not made available to stable yet. If you want to go ahead already, you need to add entries to package.accept_keywords:
| Code: | ~sys-apps/sysvinit-2.98
~x11-apps/xinit-1.4.1
~x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.10
~gui-libs/display-manager-init-1.0 |

The fact that it's not yet stable should have been included in the news item. This is going to waste many manhours throughout Gentoo-land.

Are gui-libs/display-manager-init and its dependencies going to be moved to stable BEFORE the old 'xdm' init script is removed?
Or, are we going to need to mask packages if we are trying to maintain a stable Gentoo install? |

Certainly. Stabilisation is ongoing.

Certainly not. How is that even a question? |

I think the message is for now for unstable system.
Anyway when this package will be stable the you should remeber this news but /etc/ file isn't removed because is protected by default.

There's a stable req being considered right now to sort out the keywording issues, but there's still some concerns on how to handle this.
Have to agree this should've been handled better. These changes were considered a while ago but may not have gotten enough attention for a smoother transition. |

| I tested the migration and as long as you don't forget to run `etc-update` or `dispatch-conf`, as Portage will remind you of, it works fine, even if you didn't read the news item and forgot to switch. |

Well what do you expect when you only try to update gui-libs/display-manager-init instead of @world.
The news item really only works when the related dependencies have already been updated, if they aren't, then Portage can't resolve the ensuing blockers. |

My suggestion is hang onto that news item, but wait till it's stable unless you are running unstable (~).
If I understand correctly, /etc/conf.d/xdm and /etc/init.d/xdm are part of xorg-server and will be discontinued. Once that happens, the functionality will be in its own package, gui-libs/display-manager-init, which is currently not stable.
Personally, I think it's a good time to stop using a display manager, login from the shell, and use startx to go to the desktop. I have a well tuned .xinitrc and a little script named x that runs startx for me.
| Code: | $ cat bin/x
#!/bin/sh
play /scratch/wav/startup.wav &> /dev/null &
startx |
| Code: | $ cat .xinitrc
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
#exec startkde
#exec xfce4-session
#exec startxfce4
#exec startlxde
xhost +local:root > /dev/null
/usr/bin/numlockx on
#DEPRECATED ck-launch-session
#ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startlxde
export XDG_MENU_PREFI=lxde-
#dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startlxde
/usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session /usr/bin/openbox-session |
Feedback welcome.

I am updating world after doing my main install. LOL. It's working faster with a Framebuffer. I will let you know how my progress comes along. |

Visible to ~arch it is indeed. But we were past news item here already and way into supporting you getting around a suboptimal rollout. And the way to update a list of 4 packages is not emerge only a single one.
Ultimately the news item will be amended, and imo the particular instruction should just go away (or recommended to users of out-of-tree DMs) as we will make sure that display managers should find the dependency present by depending on d-m-i on their own instead of xorg-server. All will be fine and it will have been a learning experience for everyone involved, devs included. |

Update. On clean install after running into this issue. I was able to resolve by rebuilding @world after emerge --sync. display-manager works how it should.
I am having issue with input devices but I believe that to be my own fault and a simple kernel config should fix the issue. Once recompile is done I will update this post. After that I have to install and troubleshoot nvidia drivers.
I have opted for Vanilla as it is latest. |

I have opted for Vanilla as it is latest. |
Do you have INPUT_DEVICES="evdev libinput" in your make.conf?
The latest vanilla-sources is more likely than any other kernel to be a point of endless grief unless you specifically need hardware support only available in the latest kernel.

I am having issue with input devices but I believe that to be my own fault and a simple kernel config should fix the issue. Once recompile is done I will update this post. After that I have to install and troubleshoot nvidia drivers.

I am very close to have a working X system up and running. From there the fun starts trying to get these nvidia drivers to work...
and I only had libinput. |

Thanks for the help, I changed those lines and followed this

only had to rebuild the xorg-drivers file... pretty slick.
aaand, I'm back in business. |

The news item really only works when the related dependencies have already been updated, if they aren't, then Portage can't resolve the ensuing blockers. |
So, im update world, unmerge xinit xorg-server, sysvinit and install display-manager, but:
emerge -avuDN world
