Changing display manager lightdm -> gdm

[MonkeyP99]

Hi all, I don't seem to have rc-update to change lightdm -> gdm, according to the faq below. Wondering if the instructions are still accurate or I need to install an extra software package? thanks all.

Code: Select all

sudo rc-update delete lightdm
sudo rc-update add gdm

Previous we used OpenRC, then moved back to rc that Freebsd uses. Wonder if this is artifact from OpenRC? Users smarter than me can provide a more definitive answer about rc- update and help with moving you from lightdm to gdm display manager.

You have to edit /etc/rc.conf

Put a # before the lightdm_enable="YES" line to disable lightdm

Then put this new line in

gdm_enable="YES"
