Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

I ran into this issue just recently. Wayland, trying to run i3wm, using lightdm. Once booted, lightdm greeter did not load and only a black screen displayed. I was still able to VNC into the device using tigervnc.
The issue appeared to be lightdm not supporting (or supporting well maybe) Wayland. I ended up switching from lightdm to gdm and installing hyprland on that machine.
Oh interesting. I’ll give gdm a try and see if that gives any joy. Thanks for this tip, will return tomorrow with update on this particular change
Update: alas, no dice for this change.
