Description Barry Fishman 2011-04-13 19:06:24 UTC
Created attachment 491861 [details]
.xsession-errors from failed login

Description of problem:
When I select icewm from the login screen and login, the screen goes black,
and then the login screen comes back

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 15 as of April 13, 2011
% uname -a
Linux ecube.site 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 30 16:55:57 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From login screen
2. Select username
3. Select icewm
4. Enter password
5. Select login
  
Actual results:
Screen goes black and login page reappears

Expected results:
Start up icewm session

Additional info:
The following .xsession-errors is produced.  I looked at it by
logging in on a console window after the failed login attempt.

This same problem occurs in Ubuntu 11.4 (Natty) pre-release.

Also: I added a xterm.desktop to the gdm login page.  When i logged
in with just a xterm window and just ran icewm-seesion the screen went black
and I was back in the login page.  With Natty this would bring up icewm.

Comment 1 Barry Fishman 2011-04-18 12:26:17 UTC
A further clarification.  After a fresh boot I get an initial login
using icewm which works fine.  If I logout and try to login again
I just get a momentary black screen an a return to the login page.

Hello,

I'll take care of it when I return.

Comment 3 Barry Fishman 2011-04-19 14:20:45 UTC
Since the bug also happens under Ubuntu Natty, I tried building the icewm 1.3 branch and it also failed.

I traced the failure to icewmbg crashing the server when it is run.

I submitted the bug upstream on sourceforge as:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3289566&group_id=31&atid=10003

Comment 4 Barry Fishman 2011-09-17 01:56:22 UTC
Fedora 16 seems to work fine.

Comment 5 Gilboa Davara 2011-09-19 08:03:59 UTC
OK Thanks.
I tried several times to reproduce it but failed.
