Description John Blbec 2023-01-25 10:36:37 UTC
and that's why i can always see an error below during my boot although the slim starts and works properly:

ERROR: your xdm value is invalid.
no slim executable could be found on your system.

there is a missing case section with "slim" in the /etc/init.d/display-manager so "*)" is always applied and prints the error.

This appears to have been fixed in 1.1.2, with an update to the "everything else" case.

Thanks for digging it up and the information. I will then close it as resolved.
