I don’t know how I ganked it. Was trying to screw with config stuff to set up MPD because I’ve never done it before. Now I turn on the machine and it is missing the ly greeter. Instead, I type in my username and password and it gives me a terminal. I have no idea what to do now. Got me considering the nuclear option (wave a white flag and install over this drive with Debian).

Help?

Edit: the ly display manager bit the dust for some reason. Just installed sddm and now I’m back in business!

Edit 2: Apparently ly just needed a new symlink because they changed something and the old one no longer works. Back to using my favorite display manager and using my computer as I usually do. Thanks for the help, folks! Y’all are great <3

    I was reading this on the Wiki and I couldn’t seem to get it to work. I did:

    sudo systemctl enable ly@ttyX.service sudo systemctl disable getty@ttyX.service

    But it didn’t work. Was I supposed to substitute the X for a number? Instead I just installed sddm and that got me back up and running.
