Ok, that upgrade came to my system, this morning. I selected "N" when it asked me if I wanted it to replace slim.conf, and I have verified that the file was not replaced. However, slim is no longer starting.
It is not a big deal, as I can log in and run startx and LXDE starts ok. I just wonder what went wrong?

Same situation here -- I went through the slim online docs but (and with systemd), it's not obvious to me why it doesn't start automatically on boot. It works fine when started with systemctl.
Here is some information, including some further links: http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=19102&group_id=2663
I am wondering about the feasiblity/advisability of replacing slim with lightdm, for a LXDE installation. Anyone have words of wisdom on that?
You're knocking on open doors - apt-get purge slim; apt-get install siduction-settings-lightdm-gtlk-december
Have fun. :)

Ok, that works, but it seems heavier on resources. I'll have to do a fresh boot to be sure.
Is there any way to do away with both slim and lightdm, yet still having the session active under loginctl (preferred) or console-kit?
Thanks,
Tim

I don't see a difference on that little netbook. However, LXDE documentation indicates you could "hardwire" a startx into your init script if you don't need a login manager.

Thanks for the warning and the lightdm tip. Your install command has an error. It should be:
apt-get install siduction-settings-lightdm-gtk-december ;)
