booted into gnome-shell, not DWM #8

Thanks for making this package available! I just installed ubuntu minimal (20.04) and wanted a quick way to enable as minimal GUI as I needed to work.

For some reason when the installation finished and I rebooted, I got greeted by LightDM and on login I got gnome-shell (with blue wallpaper).

Shouldn't it have booted DWM?

Hi!

Sorry for the late reply, but I was out for a few days.

Indeed, it should have started DWM. LightDM is used as the login shell only, and that comes with some parts of gnome-shell. I did not yet test this with Ubuntu 20.04, but I will. I'll also go through the setup code now and try to observe if anything might go wrong. The latest commit is from my own laptop, after a fresh installation, but of course, that isn't relevant.

Get back to you soon and thanks for your interest and pointing this out! Cheers!

After a long time filled with lots of personal & professional stuff, I now finally have some spare hours to reboot this project. As I'm going through the issues, addressing them by priority, I'll also try your scenario in detail.

As far as I can tell at the moment, it seems that the script produces a few different results on Ubuntu 20.04. Just ran some tests on an old 18.04 mini-fresh installation, and it worked as expected (once two minor issues were ironed-out).
