Description Tim Wegener 2014-01-03 12:29:27 UTC
The following display managers are installed: 'lightdm', 'lxdm', 'gdm', 'sddm'

Running system-switch-displaymanager only shows GDM and LIGHTDM as the options. It should have have options for lxdm and sddm as well.

# rpm -qa '*dm'
lightdm-1.8.5-2.fc20.x86_64
lxdm-0.4.1-6.fc20.x86_64
mdadm-3.3-4.fc20.x86_64
gdm-3.10.0.1-1.fc20.x86_64
sddm-0.2.0-0.16.20130914git50ca5b20.fc20.x86_64

# rpm -qa 'system-switch-displaymanager*'
system-switch-displaymanager-gnome-1.3-3.fc20.noarch
system-switch-displaymanager-1.3-3.fc20.noarch

Consistently reproducible.

/usr/share/system-switch-displaymanager/system-switch-displaymanager-helper
only includes support for kdm, gdm, wdm, lightdm.

(Interestingly wdm does not seem to be available in Fedora any more.)

Comment 1 Than Ngo 2014-07-30 16:50:26 UTC
i can reproduce it and will add these in next version.
thanks for you report!

Comment 2 J. Randall Owens 2015-01-29 16:00:09 UTC
Still not there in Fedora 21, whose system-switch-displaymanager-1.3-4.fc21 was built on 08 Jun 2014, before the previous comment. We do seem to show xdm instead of wdm.
