how to start e17's entrance on suse 10

mikeh2 · 02-03-2006, 12:11 AM

anyone know how to use entrance in place of gdm or kdm on suse 10? i've tried editing /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. setting the display manager to xdm, gdm, or kdm enables the respective display managers, as one would expect. but setting it to entrance results in kdm. i've tried several strings: 'entrance', 'entranced', 'entranced -nodaemon', etc. i always get kdm.

any help appreciated.

ok, i made some progress. i can run "entrance --test" to get a test version of entrance and login that way, so i know entrance is working. but i still can't run entrance as my display manager! any ideas?

I'm using slackware so don't know if it also works in suse. Modify your rc.4 and put above gmd, kdm or wdm these lines:
eval ssh-agent
exec entranced #yes, entranced
