Ly

Ly is a lightweight console UI display manager.

Setup

On most linux distributions Ly can be installed with the ly package.

This setup needs an executable ~/.xinitrc file. 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 ly.service

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

systemctl enable ly.service`
reboot
