Graphical interface not logging in I have installed the Simple Login Manager, `slim`as my login manager for xorg. I am using the Lumina desktop and FreeBSD 12.0. > SLiM is a lightweight login manager for X11, allowing the initialization of a graphical session by entring username and password in a login screen. I installed it with: pkg install slim Also placed into `/etc/rc.conf` slim_enable="YES" The graphical login interfaces does appear, however after inputing login and password, it gives the error `Failed to execute login command`. What to do?

The suggested fix found in the a FreeBSD forum is to create a `~/.xinitrc` and call your desktop manager, lumina in my case, from it. The `.xinitnrc` also has to have the executable bit set.

As in:


cat << EOF > ~/.xinitrc
exec start-lumina-desktop
EOF

chmod a+x ~/.xinitrc


After this change, I am able to login using `slim`.
