Optional: Install and use LightDM, the recommended display manager for lxde

user $  sudo pacman -S lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings COPY TO CLIPBOARD

user $  systemctl enable lightdm.service --force COPY TO CLIPBOARD

Note

Installing LXDE will also result in installing Openbox as its default window manager. The LXDM display manager will also be downloaded, although it will be necessary to enable this yourself if you wish to replace your existing display manager.

To configure LightDM to match the community edition replace the contents of /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf with
