How to have gdm become default of my archbang install?

kazuya · 2011-01-06 14:05:03

Hello guys, I just installed archbang yesterday and loved it. However, it comes with openbox and I pacman'd gnome, gdm, and xfce4. The issue is that the current login prompt is still not gdm based. It seems like slim or something else which does not allow me to select the other installed desktop environments.

Any ideas?
Is there a way in archbang or archlinux for switching from slim to gdm, xdm or even kdm?
Thanks in advance. Arch is simply too nice.

Always check the Arch wiki first.

I had already done that and folled the mini instruction there. It mentioned adding like (gdm) to the DAEMON (. . . .) startup services in a particular folder. I did that, but to no avail.
The wiki was how I did everything else.

EDIT: You are the man. I understand the step better now. I did not finish it. Do not know how I missed this step. It was almost 2 am when I was doing this install. Thanks a bunch. I will try when I get home.

We don't offer support for ArchBang here kazuya, you will need to post any questions on their forums: http://bbs.archbang.org

Closing.
