Add sddm-0.11.0

[Armin K]

sddm doesn't play well with Xorg installed in prefix other than /usr

Need to check what's needed to make it work.

[Douglas R. Reno]

This will be an interesting one. I know that Ken and Fernando both have been playing around with SDDM in sysvinit, but I have never used it before.

[bdubbs@…]

Changing to BOOK. sddm is the replacement for kdm and need to eventually be in both books.

It may need some extensive work to use without systemd.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

It was developed without systemd, and not explicitly for KDE

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Only later, support for systemd was adde, so, I think is the contrary: may need some extensive work with systemd.

First draft done at r16311:

• Add Chapter "Display Managers".
• Move lxdm-0.5.0 to Chapter "Display Managers".
• Add sddm-0.11.0.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Forgot: copied and modified from systemd.

Have to add the bootscript.

It is necessary to copy the tarball from the systemd location to anduin.

Replying to fo:

First draft done at r16311:

• Add Chapter "Display Managers".
• Move lxdm-0.5.0 to Chapter "Display Managers".

These have been suggested first by Ken Moffat, in a discussion at

​http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2015-July/030596.html

in a message of the thread.

Thank you very much, Ken!

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Added the sddm bootscript at 16312.

I don't know if I missed anything. Forgot again what I need to do for the bootscripts version be updated in the book.

I am still trying to find more information about how to start sddm, perhaps the script will need to be updated.

At the moment, there are many issues, some of them documented mainstream, some we are discussing in the -dev list.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

• Several fixes for the files in the Chapter "Display Managers"; patch sent by Bruce Dubbs. Thanks! Fix 3 for #6639.
• Added instruction to install the sddm bootscript. Fix 2 for #6639.

Thank you very much for the patch, Bruce!!!

Fixed at r16313.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

I am starting to think that sddm should be removed form the book and wait until a proper version is published.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

I am giving up with sddm.

Giving back to the book.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

I've got an idea. Tomorrow, will try and report, if it works.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

I've found a work around that turns available the poweroff and reboot buttons. But it is ugly.

​http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2015-August/030845.html

Essentially, replace the bootscript start session by

   start)
	log_info_msg "Starting udisksd..."
        start_daemon /usr/libexec/udisks2/udisksd --replace --no-debug &
	evaluate_retval
	log_info_msg "Starting upowerd..."
        pgrep -l upowerd || start_daemon /usr/libexec/upowerd &
	evaluate_retval
	log_info_msg "Starting SDDM..."
	start_daemon $BIN_FILE &
	evaluate_retval
	;;

Perhaps i should add some >/dev/null, to avoid a pid that appears with, IIRC, upowerd.

Perhaps a modification in sddm-0.11.0/src/daemon/XorgDisplayServer.cpp could fix this.

I'm not taking the ticket, because it started as sddm doesn't play well with Xorg installed in prefix other than /usr and Bruce uses X in /opt and he just told in dev to have started working on sddm.

Bruce, Ken, whatever you decide is fine: you or Ken or me.

I think that we are near to close this ticket.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Change the bootscript according to Bruce's post at:

​http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2015-August/030849.html

to

. /lib/lsb/init-functions

BIN_FILE="/usr/bin/sddm"

#$LastChangedBy: fernando $

case $1 in
   start)
        log_info_msg "Starting upowerd..."
        pgrep -l upowerd || start_daemon /usr/libexec/upowerd &
        evaluate_retval

        log_info_msg "Starting SDDM..."
        start_daemon $BIN_FILE &
        evaluate_retval
        ;;

   stop)
        log_info_msg "Stopping SDDM..."
        killproc $BIN_FILE

        log_info_msg "Stopping upowerd..."
        killproc upowerd
        evaluate_retval
        ;;

   restart)
        $0 stop
        sleep 2
        $0 start
        ;;

   status)
        statusproc ${BIN_FILE}
        statusproc /usr/libexec/upowerd
        ;;

   *)
        echo "usage: $0 [start|stop|restart|status]"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

Remember to fix LXDM bootscript uninstall target.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

• Update to LVM2.2.02.128.
• Update to xf86-input-wacom-0.31.0.
• Update to eog-3.16.3.
• More short descriptions from Denis Mugnier.
• Add upowerd to sddm bootscript, for buttons to work (halt, reboot, etc.).
• Fix lxdm uninstall target in bootscripts Makefile.

Fixed at r16350.
