greetd (A login manager daemon) greetd is a minimal and flexible login manager daemon that makes no assumptions about what you want to launch. Prior to installation you must create a user/group for 'greetd' on your system: 'groupadd -g 381 greeter' 'useradd -d /var/lib/greeter -u 381 -g greeter -G video -s /bin/false \ greeter' To start 'greetd' at boot, ensure you've set runlevel 4 and copy the included '/etc/rc.d/rc.4.greetd' to '/etc/rc.d/rc.4.local' (or add the contents to your existing file) and reboot. The default greeter is 'agreety' which is included. This is a text-based greeter login that resembles a console login. You can change greetd to load any program upon boot by editing the '/etc/greetd/config.toml' file. In order to save any changes during an upgrade, it is recommended to copy the file to '/etc/greetd/greetd.conf' to save your personalized settings. *NOTE* You will see an error about "unable to set working directory", which appears to happen on all non-systemd distros, but doesn't effect overall use. There are many additional greeters for greetd, which have yet to be submitted to SBo, if you have a favorite, please upload a SlackBuild!
