No login/display manager

hello,

i switched from lightdm to gdm, and after rebooting my computer gdm showed up, looking fresh and nice;

problem is after login in for the first time, i dont have a lockscreen anymore, gdm just doesnt show up - so i cannot get my laptop to lock its screen;

if I switch back to lightdm everything works again, but I really do want to try gdm, lightdm is really slow on my computer, any ideas?

Hello @mateomotriz !
I’ve faced the same issue when I was in Ubuntu, by switching from gdm to lightdm !
Then I saw this -> https://askubuntu.com/questions/184728/how-do-i-lock-the-screen-from-a-terminal discussion.

Also see the package: i3lock.
It’s link is: https://github.com/i3/i3lock

I hope this works for you temporarily.
