[gentoo-user] lightdm - keeps looping
The slim is no longer maintain, so I tried "lightdm" but when I try to login, it keeps looping, I'm back into login screen. I can post a log-file but it is long. Any suggestion.

I haven't used lightdm for a while now, but there is a line where you set your preferred 'user-session' in /etc/lightdm/ lightdm.conf.
