Description of problem: X resources disappear after logout. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-xinit-1.3.4-12.fc25.x86_64 I'm not sure if this is the proper component to report this issue. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. log in 2. log out 3. log in 4. run xrdb Actual results: $ xrdb -q Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: none Xcursor.theme: Xcursor.size: 0 Xcursor.theme_core: 1 Expected results: I expect to see, in the output of xrdb -q, all of the resources that are in my ~/.Xresources. I do see all of them after logging in the first time (after booting). But they have disappeared by the second login. Additional info:
This problem first appeared for me in Fedora 25. I updated all packages today, and the problem is still here.
This really should be medium Severity (and medium priority), but I can't seem to edit those fields.
Hi, What desktop environment are you using and how are you logging in ? The xinitrc scripts do not care if this is your first login or not, so I think the problem lies somewhere else. Are you perhaps using GNOME on wayland ? Regards, Hans
I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is elsewhere, but I didn't think of a better place to start. I'm running xfce and the default graphical login. Thank you! David
Hi, (In reply to David Levine from comment #4) > I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is elsewhere, but I didn't think of a > better place to start. > > I'm running xfce and the default graphical login. I think this is likely a bug with the graphical login manager, if you're using the XFCE spin then you're likely using lightdm. Try doing "rpm -q lightdm" if that gives output other then "package lightdm is not installed" then you're indeed using lightdm. You may want to try gdm instead (to pin things down to lightdm), do: sudo dnf install gdm sudo systemctl disable lightdm.service sudo systemctl enable gdm.service reboot And see if that fixes things, to go back to lightdm, swap the enable / disable and (optionally) do: sudo dnf remove gdm Regards, Hans
Yes, I was using lightdm, and gdm does indeed fix the issue. I will file a bug against lightdm. Thank you! David
