[solved]Qingy not using logind

I've been using KDE for a long time but being a bit fed up with the overhead, I switched to Awesome and then wanted to also ditch KDM for Qingy.

First of all, I never managed to login with the graphical part of Qingy, but by killing it and going to a console login I could still choose the different sessions, which was good enough for me for now, so i logged in to my Awesome, but some things were not working as they used to be: no sound, networkmanager not working properly either, …

I first thought I did some mistake when I updated, but by digging,

loginctl

showed there was no session, hence I guessed that qingy did not use logind , and indeed reverting to getty solved that issue, but I'd like to be able to use qingy.

Any leads ? Is it my config that is not correct (I followed the wiki), or would it be an issue with Qingy itself ?

I'm new to this forum (Hi !) so please do correct me if I'm not using it properly

Re: [solved]Qingy not using logind

This happens because the PAM file of Qingy is not updated yet for systemd support.

Replace the file:
/etc/pam.d/qingy

with this one:
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … kages/lxdm

and it will probably solves the problem. Qingy is an orphan package in AUR, so you can fix it yourself.

Qingy 1.0.0, the most recent release, is over three years old, so IMO you can be certain that it does not support logind.

Re: [solved]Qingy not using logind

That didn't solve the login issue but I'll put that on the age of Qingy, and that makes the system usable which is good enough ^^

Thanks, marking as solved !
