Appears to be related to bug #122941 Than, what are your thoughts about this one? I haven't yet looked at the switchdesk package or investigated the code at hand here. Should I just remove all of the above, and hard code the path that is in our current switchdesk instead? TIA Mike, hier is the patch, which should fix this problem

Fixed in rawhide xinitrc-4.0.0-1 My $0.02: Is the switchdesk stuff relevent anymore? I mean, at least for gnome/kde, all switchdesk does is run gnome-session,startkde respectively, which is already (or should be) in xinitrc anyway. I would argue gutting switchdesk, and removing the (extra) dependancy on it altogether. |
In /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession, the switchdesk path is to be detected by ------------------------------------------------------------------ # backward compatibility with old switchdesk directory if [ -f /usr/share/switchdesk/switchdesk-gui.py ] ; then SWITCHDESKPATH=/usr/share/switchdesk else SWITCHDESKPATH=/usr/share/apps/switchdesk fi ------------------------------------------------------------------ However, the file /usr/share/switchdesk/switchdesk-gui.py does not exist and SWITCHDESKPATH is set to "/usr/share/apps/switchdesk", although the Xclients.* files are located in /usr/share/switchdesk. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xinitrc-3.41-1 and switchdesk-4.0.3-1 How reproducible: Always
