You will need to first open your terminal in order to edit the '''SLiM configuration file'''. The syntax of the command to do this is:


  sudo [text editor] /etc/slim.conf
  gksu [text editor] /etc/slim.conf
 
 
For example, if you wish to edit the file within the terminal using nano (a standard terminal-based text editor) then enter:
 
sudo nano /etc/slim.conf
 


Otherwise - if you have installed the full version of Manjaro (i.e. not the NET-Edition) - you may find it easier to use the pre-installed ''gedit'' text editor instead. This will open the configuration file up as a document, making it easier to read and edit. To use gedit instead, the command is:


sudo gedit /etc/slim.conf
For example, if you wish to edit the file within the terminal using the ''gedit'' text editor, the command is:


gksu gedit /etc/slim.conf
