QuoteYou using an alias for apt? Might be a VSIDO alias - I always just use the ones I made years ago.

I just followed Machine Bacon advice at this tutorial:

I love all the advise that these guys give except for the systemd-less systems.

Also the arch wiki says:
QuoteLXDM — LXDE display manager. Can be used independent of the LXDE desktop environment.

Quoteusing the repos for lxdm brings in the entire lxde as dependencies - including openbox - pretty sure this option was explored in the early days of VSIDO and was dropped

Well... I installed it alone. Just did

apt install lxdm

Then

apt-get purge --remove lightdm

No dependencies, no openbox

oscar@flux-debi:~$ apt-cache policy openbox
openbox:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.6.1-1

nor lxde

oscar@flux-debi:~$ apt-cache policy lxde   
lxde:

Just a warm suggestion: Consider including LXDM instead of Lightdm. It's lighter, easy to configure and it's in Debian Sid repos. Also it's very well documented in the Arch Wiki.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDM

oscar@flux-debi:~$ apt-cache policy lxdm
lxdm:
  Installed: 0.5.1-1
  Candidate: 0.5.1-1
  Version table:
*** 0.5.1-1 0
        500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.5.1-1 0
        500 http://packages.siduction.org/extra/ unstable/main amd64 Packages


Just my 2 cents...

Introductions / From Aptosid to Vsido

I'm a long time sid user and had a stint in Crunchbang (where I met vastone). Ready to give Vsido a break in a bare-metal install...
