1 Hi
2
3 A quick heads-up to anyone who like me uses sddm on a plain openrc box
4 with USE="-elogind -systemd" and upgrades to sddm-0.16.0 (recently released)
5
6 That combination does not work. The xdm service starts, sddm launches,
7 logs a message that doesn't look too ominous and then does ... nothing.
8 No sddm, No X-Server. Very confusing, took me a while to solve.
9
10 Masking sddm-0.16.0 and downgrading back to sddm-0.15.0 restores
11 functionality. More info and the Gentoo bug report:
