I thought I had video working on f22 via the binary
nvidia drivers because I could run startx after getting
them installed, but when I changed the default target
from multi-user to graphical, then booted f22, the screen
just keeps flashing between black and the text mode
boot messages, like gdm is trying to start, crashing,
then trying to start again.
I'll try kdm next (I normally switch to kdm anyway,
I just hadn't gotten that far yet).

-fedora
# yum install lightdm lightdm-gtk
Then, disable gdm service and make the lightdm service be started by
systemd
# systemctl disable gdm.service
# systemctl enable lightdm.service
After rebooting your Fedora Linux, lightdm should be the dm.
You can also install system-switch-displaymanager and let that do it
for you.
dnf install system-switch-displaymanager
system-switch-displaymanager gdm or system-switch-displaymanager
lightdm or whichever want you want.
Reboot (not sure just logging off works) and should be using the one
you chose.

The following sequence should be enough:
# systemctl isolate multi-user.target
# systemctl isolate graphical.target
Or maybe just stop the old one, start the new one. Both work only from
a real tty though, your desktop session will be restarted.

Thank you.
This worked on my i686 Dell Inspiron 600m.
glad it worked!!!
Is it then fair to assume that gdm is buggy? Both of my two other
Fedora machines use gdm (x64s). Since fedup worked (for the most part)
on this upgrade, should I be safe and flip to lightdm? Otherwise, I
might have the same problem - no login screen indicating a buggy gdm.
Thank you again.
I have never had a problem running lightdm on any computer... under any
OS.. you can always run those commands either way, to stop/start
lightdm/gdm...

Hi
Just to add my 10 cents worth. After the upgrade to Fedora 22 I found that lightdm was
crippled. Had to disable lightdm and enable kdm. Works fine now :)

It seems that my GDM is hosed also; I see that both gdm and lightdm are
installed (per fedup); how do I make the adjustment?
There's probably a tool to do it but if you don't mind doing it manually
just change the symbolic link to the display manager you want:
$ pwd
/etc/systemd/system
$ ll | grep display
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 35 Jan 20 2013 display-manager.service ->
/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service
Thanks,
Richard

It seems that my GDM is hosed also; I see that both gdm and lightdm are
installed (per fedup); how do I make the adjustment?
Thank you.
