I was encountering the slow shell login that some have mentioned, but found that switching from bash to zsh fixed the problem entirely!

The patch below of PKGBUILD works for me with gnome 42.0:

No issues to report with the latest update, everything is still working great, thank you.

gnze796 commented on 2022-03-31 13:51 (UTC)

This update for some reason makes the booting process slower and it takes a few seconds for GDM to load. Here is the pastebin for my kernel journal https://pastebin.com/sYcNKn9T

I fixed the issue by reverting to the previous version 41.0+r15+g23ebe617

I am not able to install this package. request failed: Get "https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?arg%5B%5D=gdm-prime&type=info&v=5": net/http: TLS handshake timeout

I am able to download all other packages from pacman and aur except for this package

elva commented on 2022-01-12 16:44 (UTC)

@fmiguel, I was having the same problem.

Since yesterday I was trying to install, so I could get optimus running on top of gnome and had the same problem.

I started looking into it and since the error is in meson's build() process and the package is the same that was working on 28 of November, I was able to solve this right now and properly install the current package with a change of version in 'meson' package.

I don't know if I'm allowed to put links here, but in the archlinux archive (packages -> m -> meson), download another 'meson' version dated before 28th of November (when @Scotty_Trees said he got it working) - I installed '0.60.3-1-any' (with sudo pacman -U meson_downloaded_file inside file directory) and the build process for gdm will work just fine.

https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/m/meson/

Just be aware of the moment gdm-prime will talk about conflicts and don't forget to remove gdm and libgdm in the confirmations that happen during the installation process.

Hope it helps you until the package is updated to new meson version.

fmiguel commented on 2022-01-11 20:12 (UTC)

I've dropped pam-arch support as the patch does not work with v41 (I think it only usefull if you have a fingerprint reader).

Scotty_Trees commented on 2021-11-18 17:26 (UTC)

I took a chance and updated to Gnome 41 with gdm-prime and libgdm-prime not being updated yet to properly support Gnome 41 and I am happy to report it still works on my end, haven't seen any issues on my Acer Aspire E5-576.

PolGZ commented on 2021-11-18 17:21 (UTC)

On asus-flow-x13 auto-attempts to login with the fingerprint, resulting in continuous errors. If one don't type his password real fast, will get banned from login for 10 minutes.

That behaviour was not present with default gdm package.

Strawpants commented on 2021-11-18 09:46 (UTC)

Just for info: I just updated to Gnome 41, and the 40.0-1 package (+libgdm-prime) still seems to work with it.

Scotty_Trees commented on 2021-09-23 15:23 (UTC)

Will this be updated to support Gnome 41 which was just released on Sept 22?

Nizam commented on 2021-08-21 03:12 (UTC)

any gentoo support please?

I get the following error when trying to update:

ERROR: Could not detect Ninja v1.8.2 or newer

However the following version is installed via pacman. ninja-1.10.2-1

---> Solved by installing ninja via pip.

whats the reason for compiling without plymouth support?

Thanks for notifying. I've rebased the package against the official version.

kagetora13 commented on 2020-09-08 21:29 (UTC)

This package needs to be updated because of the PAM changes in the Gnome GDM 3.36.3-6.

Presently this package is incompatible to support Nvidia Optimus setups

@soraxas Yes the issue was exactly that one. I was using conda and when I deactivated the env, everything worked well. Thanks !

soraxas commented on 2020-06-20 02:06 (UTC)

@Yeboster would it be because you had pyenv installed and you were using the virtual python environment in your system? I had similar error with the No module named 'giscanner._giscanner' message, but was able to get it working by temporarily removing the pyenv from my $PATH before attempting to install the package.

@askannz yeah, i'm sure i screwed something up. i managed to get it working.

Askannz commented on 2020-02-15 23:51 (UTC)

@heubd what do you mean ? Those deps are already in the PKGBUILD.

@zaxmyth You must have broken packages. Those files belong to the standard gdm package which should automatically conflict with gdm-prime and be removed by pacman.
