Start lightdm after DKMS modules have been (re)built

Hello!

Has anyone an idea how to "force" the lightdm manager to start after the DKMS modules compilation?

Now, on each kernel update, the lightdm manager tries to start and fails, because the the DKMS modules have not been built. Although it is not a real problem, it is kind of annoying.

Thank you!

Re: Start lightdm after DKMS modules have been (re)built

Never used DKMS myself, but after a quick look at the wiki, it seems you're using a systemd service to automatically rebuild modules during the first boot after a kernel upgrade.

Can't you simply add After=dkms.service to lightdm (or Before=lightdm.service to dkms)?
