Related articles * [Display manager](/index.php/Display_manager "Display manager") * [CDM](/index.php/CDM "CDM") [Console TDM](https://github.com/dopsi/console-tdm) is an extension for xorg-xinit written in pure bash. It is inspired by CDM, which aimed to be a replacement of display managers such as GDM. ## Installation [Install](/index.php/Install "Install") the [console-tdm](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/console-tdm/) package ([console-tdm-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/console-tdm-git/) package for the development version). Now ensure no other display managers get started by [disabling](/index.php/Disabling "Disabling") their systemd services. After installing Console TDM, you should modify your `~/.bash_profile`, and add a line: ``` source /usr/bin/tdm ``` If you use [zsh](/index.php/Zsh "Zsh"), add to your `~/.zprofile` the following line: ``` bash /usr/bin/tdm ``` or ``` tdm ``` **Tip:** Since version 1.3.0, `tdm` may be forced to start if X is already running by adding the `--disable-xrunning-check` flag to the first call of `tdm`. Regardless of which shell is used you should edit `~/.xinitrc` by replace your existing `exec` line with: ``` exec tdm --xstart ``` ## Configuration **Note:** Since version 1.3.0, `tdm` follows the XDG base directory specification. By default, `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is set to `$HOME/.config`. **Warning:** Since support for `~/.tdm` will eventually be dropped, consider moving your configuration to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tdm`. You can use `tdmctl migrate` to automatically migrate your configuration. . You should copy the links to your WM/DE starter to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tdm/sessions`, and links to non-X programs to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tdm/extra`. For convenience, you can just run `tdmctl init`. The use of the program `tdmctl` is much like `systemctl`, and it's a powerful tool to configure Console TDM. You can customize Console TDM by editing `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tdm/tdminit`. ## See also * [Homepage](http://dopsi.github.io/console-tdm/)
