[gentoo-user] SDDM problem

[john]

Hello,

I have installed kde-frameworks-5.16 & kde-plasma-5.5 and when I start
sddm I get the following error:

/usr/bin/xauth: (stdin):1:  bad "remove" command line
/usr/bin/xauth: (stdin):2:  bad "add" command line

sddm does not start
Using openrc
Version x11-misc/sddm-0.13.0-r1

Any ideas? Does sddm only work with systemd??????

slim is fine.

John

Not wanting to mess up my existing kde system I've built a new one from 
scratch in spare disk partitions, choosing the plasma profile and the kde 
overlay, and using openrc. My frameworks are at version 5.14.0 and kde-
plasma is at 5.4.3.

I did have a bit of trouble getting sddm to run at first, but after prowling 
around the Web for a while I got it to work without problem. Sorry I can't 
remember now what I did. It's at version 0.12.0-r1 here.

After trying to start /etc/init.d/xdm and inspect sddm.log
file the /var/lib/sddm directory was missing. Created directory and sddm
now starts.

Hm. That doesn't sound familiar. Anyway, glad it's working now.
