CachyOS is terrific. I figured out how to theme LightDM. However, I would like SDDM, but it’s been a challenge on CachyOS. I use hyprland and no KDE. A display manager choice at install would be a bonanza. In the meantime, a script, documentation or anything that would allow SDDM instead of LightDM would be very helpful. A minor issue considering how pleasant the CachyOS experience is. Congratulations

sudo pacman -S sddm
sudo systemctl disable lightdm
sudo systemctl enable sddm
I did those commands a couple of weeks ago. Logged out. No display manager at all. Rebooted. No display manager. Fortunately, I do Foxclone and restored the system (which had the original LightDM). Working fine again, but no SDDM. Thanks for the reply.
Must be missing a dependency. All the dependencies for SDDM: gcc-libs glibc libxau libxcb pam qt6-base qt6-declarative systemd-libs xorg-server xorg-xauth
Thanks. I’ll get on it.
hi @tonekneeo
think @lasserre is on wayland-protocol ?
hyprland. wayland. yes. (Mostly gtk. Little qt.) I have learned to cleanup the appearance of LightDM on my CachyOS notebook and it’s OK. (Really nice little old PC) I went from GDM to SDDM on a couple of Fedora/hyprland/wayland machines without a hitch.
I know. I just listed all of the dependencies for SDDM.
I followed through on your post. All of the listed dependencies were installed already. Since LightDM is looking better than the ugly it was, I am committed to it for now. Thanks for the advice on SDDM.
Fair enough, now I am just curious why it isn’t working. I had it working on my last Cachy install.
Your advice was sound. All of the recommended was true. LightDM is looking better and better anyway.
