    Discontinued display manager with console UI [Moved to: https://github.com/fairyglade/ly] (by nullgemm)

  • After building & installing ly demonstrate manager (https://github.com/nullgemm/ly) i can't‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­seem to start it as there is no entry in /etc/sv to start. I then came across this: https://github.com/drozdowsky/ly-void. A build of ly that supports runit & sure enough it has a service to start however when i restart my pc and ly display manager starts, even with the right credentials it does not log in, only turning off my monitor for a moment then booting back into the display manager screen. This is the case for starting my window manager, starting my .xinitrc however it can successfully start the shell. Any help would be greatly appreciated to either start the official build, or to correct the modified one.
