set -x output from startxfce4 script as well as error output from run as a user
This is the output from the startx run (startx when run as normal user on
normal console).
xfce4 works on my 32 bit laptop (single screen) using an ATI delivered driver. Is there anything in your ~/.xsession-errors file? Is this a clean install? Or an upgrade from a previous version? What is the output of: 'rpm -qa | grep xf' If you create a new user and try and login via gdm with an Xfce session does it work? What is the output of 'getenforce' ? You are using the nvidia binary only driver? Does the problem persist with the open source 'nv' driver? > What is the output of: 'rpm -qa | grep xf'

> If you create a new user and try and login via gdm with an Xfce session does it work? Yes, it does. I thought for sure that I had cleaned up (ie, removed) the .config directory, but I will try and remove it again to see if it makes a difference. > What is the output of 'getenforce' ? Disabled > You are using the nvidia binary only driver? Does the problem persist with the open source 'nv' driver? For my account, yes it does. It has to be a configuration setting somewhere that is stuck, but for the life of me, I can't find it. I have attached the Xorg.0.log file. Created attachment 284191 [details]
.xsession-errors output from startup
This is the output from the .xsession-errors on startup of xfce4 on my
workstation (during a crashed login).
Also, I have removed the .config directory and let xfce4 recreate it, and now it will log me in instead of crashing all the way back out to the GDM login screen, but it fails immediately with a dialog box saying that my session lasted less than 10 seconds, and with the output from the .xsession-errors log file that I have attached in Comment #7. Xfce also uses a ~/.cache directory to store session information and such. Can you try moving that out of the way as well as .config and restarting? In addition, can you try logging in via gdm? startx doesn't work with ConsoleKit, so you may not get device permissions you need to get when you login. That fixed it! I had to remove the .cache and .config directories and now I can use XFCE as my desktop. Thanks! This is also using the GDM. (Writing this from xfce now). This bug can now be closed. Excellent. This of course brings up the question of how the cache files got messed up in the first place, but I guess as long as it's working again for you we can close this. |
