MX Linux Forum

Hmm, I have an idea.. what if I try switching to LightDM? Bad idea?

Well I rebooted and messed with SDDM a little, tried messing with themes and that "Apply Plasma settings" button. No impact though.

I might just tolerate it for a while. After an initial MX animation it goes back to text mode, and after a slight (annoying) delay of maybe 30-60 seconds, I get a CLI ...

@mxxm TBH I haven't looked at it at all yet! lol

I will need to reboot soon though, updates are starting to queue up. I was hoping maybe we'd see an update for SDDM. I'll be sure to return here once I get around to messing with it. Probably this weekend.

Pretty much, but my model number is 49WL95C not 49WQ95C. And I don't think I paid that much.

Not sure if I got it from Amazon or Newegg, Amazon is claiming ignorance when I search but it might be this one:

My GPU has ...

Yep it's X11 (I saw an "x11" in the quick system info too).

I have the largest ultrawide that LG makes (49" or whatever it is). It has 1 DP and 2 HDMI inputs in the back. There's a built-in feature in the monitor config where you can tell it to split the screen into virtual monitors, and tell it ...

Well if it's some setting that I have specificlally that doesn't sound too good - this install is only a month or two old so it's not like I had a ton of time to change things from the MX KDE defaults. The main "weird" thing I have going on here display wise I guess is the triple monitor setup (an ...

mxxm Ok good to know, SDDM, I see it in the system info I posted now. No worries about crossing issues, I don't mind.

It does look like it updated SDDM on the 23rd when I had the issue if "sddm-modified-init" is what it sounds like.

Yep, thanks. I feel like the issue is probably after the firmware level stuff so maybe I'll try that different kernel suggestion first, if nobody else shows up here with another idea. Edit: That was meant for siamhie - didn't notice I had a second page to read!

Even worse, these clowns at ASUS expect us to run an exe utility to "rename" the BIOS file. (Why??) Wow... I almost feel like complaining to their support. They don't support other OSes?

I had a feeling someone would notice the extra GPU. That extra Quadro is just a toy for GPU passthrough to a VM. It's not in normal use really. But I do have the AMD (Device-1) GPU set up to use three displays. "active: DP-3,DP-5,HDMI-A-1" sounds about right.

The real mystery to me is that it was ...
