Arch Linux

I just adopted the package and uploaded a new version.

The install script is removed, as is the nodm-wrapper.sh script, instead a systemd service file has been added.

I have the same problem.

Could you fix it?

Right going to get this fixed at some point.
In the meantime you can just omit the install=(nodm.install) line as to compile and install. It echos contains guidelines/notes on the post_install hook for that script, so first read it when prompted to edit then remove it from the PKGBUILD.

error in english:
Edit nodm PKGBUILD with $EDITOR? [Y/n] n
Edit nodm.install with $EDITOR? [Y/n] n
==> ERROR: install file ((nodm.install)) does not exist.
The build failed.

Sorry guys, I haven't had the time to maintain this package, and it's especially hard, since I don't use it anymore. The program does not change very frequently, so it would make sense to do what tidalf2 said.

sevenfourk, could you try the following:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 makepkg

or

LC_ALL=C makepkg

because I can't understand what the error message is.

Does anyone support it ? Please, I don't have time to dig in it. Thanks

copied /etc/pam.d/slim to /etc/pam.d/nodm (and especially the line with pam_ck_connector.so) and consolekit start working with nodm... perhaps you could ship too.

@garyvdm still doesn't work. cassava is right. The session is not registered as local, making consolekit impossible to register the session:

$ who

@cassava: To get ConsoleKit working, use:
NODM_XSESSION=exec /usr/bin/ck-launch-session /usr/bin/gnome-session
as documented here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc#Policykit

There is one problem with this display manager: I have not been able to make ConsoleKit to work with it. This means for example, that in Gnome you will not have shutdown, restart, suspend, etc. support, and the Gnome automount feature won't work. If you want this, you can use console autologin (with mingetty) with the appropriate .bash_profile (or .zprofile) in your home directory. See the Wiki for more on that.
