[SOLVED] LXDM Arch theme (lxdm.conf)

Hello,

I'm trying to install the following theme for the LXDM display manager: http://allanmcrae.com/2011/08/simple-ar … -for-lxdm/ (Also available in AUR here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arch … xdm-theme/)

After building the package, the theme can be found in /usr/share/lxdm/themes/Archlinux.

Now I'm trying to edit the the /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf to reflect this change, but the display manager doesn't start when I changed the theme to "Archlinux" in the conf file (black screen instead).

Here's the content of lxdm.conf. Any insights into what I'm doing wrong would be very helpful.

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

## uncomment and set timeout to enable timeout autologin,
## the value should >=5
# timeout=10

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

## uncomment and set to set numlock on your keyboard
# numlock=0

## set this if you don't want to put xauth file at ~/.Xauthority
# xauth_path=/tmp

# not ask password for users who have empty password
# skip_password=1

## greeter used to welcome the user
greeter=/usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gtk

[server]
## arg used to start xserver, not fully function
arg=/usr/bin/X -background vt1
# uncomment this if you really want xserver listen to tcp
# tcp_listen=1
# uncoment this if you want reset the xserver after logou
# reset=1

[display]
## gtk theme used by greeter
gtk_theme=Adwaita

## background of the greeter
# bg=/usr/share/backgrounds/default.png

## if show bottom pane
bottom_pane=1

## if show language select control
lang=1

## if show keyboard layout select control
keyboard=0

## the theme of greeter
theme=Archlinux

[input]

[userlist]
## if disable the user list control at greeter
disable=0

## whitelist user
white=

## blacklist user
black=

Note that the theme was previously "Industrial" (default).

Thanks.

What error is printed to the journal when Allan's theme breaks LXDM?

Dear Jason,
Thanks for your quick reply. The issue seems to have resolved itself and I can't replicate the error. Sorry to waste your time. I'll mark this as solved.
