Lemurs

Lemurs is a lightweight TUI display manager. It is available for both X and Wayland.

Setup

On most linux distributions LightDM can be installed with the lemurs package.

This setup needs an xsession. An alternative to this is using xinitrc as an xsession. The process of this is desribed in the display manager entry. Make sure to have a working xsession or xinitrc. If you are not sure about it, use the tests provided in the penultimate step.

Before finishing the setup the functionality should be tested. This can be done by using one or both of the following commands.

systemctl start lemurs.service

Finally the SystemD lightdm service needs to be enabled and reboot the system.

systemctl enable lemurs.service`
reboot
