Arch Linux User Repository

BTW. There is a sense of using this today (in 2015)? When we have eg. lightdm? Where even simple and lightweight gtk(2/3)-greeter looks good when it is good configured.

I was going to edit below, no edit function?

I should clarify, When using gdm-old + gnome-keyring, after version gnome-keyring-3.10, the user to not be able to login.

This is likely not a gdm-old issue, therefore stating "gdm-old is broken", per below is incorrect.

gdm-old is broken when using gnome-keyring after version 3.10.

Downgrading to gnome-keyring-3.10.0-1 restored gdm-old function on my system.

Dunno, for me everything work fine. Maybe try recompile? Normally I use lightdm this days, but I compile this today for checkup and works with mate and xfce after fresh system upgrade.

After last update (not sure which package exactly) gdm-old doesn't start any session anymore. Anyone faced this problem?

Thank you for notification, but this already done in release 9.

Please update PKGBUILD to install binaries to /usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin in line with recent changes: https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries-move-to-usrbin-requiring-update-intervention/

Both versions of service works on kms identically.. For me.

Both versions works on kms identically..

BTW. I don't have KMS, checked only text and framebuffer

Ok, i done little investigation about. There is no need to conflict with tty1 for gdm-old (some bugs in new gdm - forced start on tty1). There is no need to have another service because if all services started playmouth make quit self immediately . Jristz your service doesn't work with this DM, maybe mint devs change something in source code. But maybe this work only for me if you want, please, check, before I upload it: http://ix.io/3Id

@3Ed_0 I mean: You remmember that Linux Mint fork gdm 2.20 (this) months ago?
my mintdm (in AUR) it he resultant of this fork, If you want, why not give a look to the mdm-plymouth.sceervi, probably this help you to create a plymouth service, but if you going to make it, remmember rename to gdm-old-plymouth.service because plymouth probide a gdm3 compatible gm-plymouth.service

now is clear?

@sinister99: fixed (btw. FS#18831 - "true && install=gdm.install" in "package_gdm-old()" is not good idea)

gdm.install is not included.

If somebody have problems with new pam files, there is fallback:
----------------------------------------------------------------
* http://ix.io/3H0 for /etc/pam.d/pam
* http://ix.io/3H1 for /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin

Note: please, put last 30 lines of auth.log and daemon.log on some pastebin for future fixes.
----------------------------------------------------------------

@Jristz: how now?

for the pam and for the plymouth service
you can watch my mintdm (for of this package by linuxmint) for a clue about how add the plymouth service

"--enable-systemd" is ignored, pam is modyfied to work with systemd, leave it.

But package gdm-old is mark as conflict with gdm. There binary and other files have that same locations and names..
$ loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID
show you
> [..]
> Service=gdm
> [..]
the same in both services

"--enable-systemd" is ignored, pam is modyfied to work with systemd, leave it.

but package gdm-old mark as conflicted with gdm, binary and other files have that same locations and names..
$ loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID
show you
> [..]
> Service=gdm
> [..]
the same in both services

3ED_0: --enable-systemd option not supported by this version of GDM, probably this mean the need of a brunch of pam rules...not sure

for other side: 'install -m644 "${srcdir}/gdm.service" "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service"' this make conflict with gdm (extra) sue to same name service

Jristz again: I must check this, but I don't use playmouth (graphic card). Could you find solution, by yourself?

Jristz: You say that service must be reenabled after change gdm to gdm-old?

another one: you can provide another service for plymouth compatibility??
plymouth ship gdm-plymouth for gdm in extra, and I think that this not work on gdm-old

I noticed that you renamed gdm-old.service to gdm
this make an obligatory conflict for gdm
since both use the same gdm.service name

Jristz: how now?

I think the pam is correctly set up now.. I'm not pam expert..

Jristz: how now?

I think the pam is correctly set up now.. My pam "understanding" is not very well.

my mistake I try to run gdm in place of gdm-old

But now I install and run them but networkmanager-applet refuse to start, but the other logins not have this issue
64bit in xfce4

theonly form to run nm-applet is a sudo nm-applet & in terminal

my mistake I try to run gdm in place of gdm-old

"systemctl {enable,start} gdm-old.service" not work?

PS. I gave that name, because previously systemd have gdm.service in package..

the ./configure --enable-ipv6 is for ipv6 support for remotelogin (like me)

but you can add a systemd service???

Added policykit for gdmsetup:
# pkexec gdmsetup
to try.. :]

Plus some fixes..

Jristz: how it works?

You can add to configure all ipv6-related flags
you know if not have ipv6 flags you cannot use ipv6-related thinks
If i remmember --enable-ipv6 and other are the flasg

you can??

I can't build this in 32bit new arch install. Can post errors later when I have access to the laptop in necessary.

cpatrick08: 2.32 != 2.20. GDM has been rewritten since version above 2.20. Higher versions, eg are without themes engine.. You may wish create gdm2 package instead....

could you update gdm-old to 2.32.2 http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/gdm/2.32/gdm-2.32.2.tar.bz2
sha256sum 034d23af0ea18d86e5543e707212d9297ec7d83f221808968af266dbebc0e703

could you make gdm-old and base it off of 2.32 if you wanted to

latest version is: "gdm-2.20.11.tar.gz 03-Jun-2010 23:02 6.0M"
I take off flag "out of date".
