Description of problem: X resources disappear after logout. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lightdm-1.18.2-1.fc25.x86_64 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 on 4 December, and the problem remains.
Pretty sure this is not lightdm's job/responsibility, what DE are you using?
I'm using xfce. Replacing lightdm with gdm resolves the problem. Though I don't doubt you, at this point that's all I have to go on. Thanks.
after you logout from your first (working) session, what does this say (as root or some other console user): loginctl list-sessions Does it still list your previous session as active? If so, does this help? loginctl kill-session <id> (then try logging in again)
Yes, it still lists my previous session as active. Killing the session does not help. I verified that the kill was successful, as shown by loginctl list-sessions.
For me this issue was fixed with lightdm 1.18.3.
To extend my last comment a bit: The specific issue here is probably this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1599478 Further more lightdm 1.18.3 also fixes other issues reported here and two fixes are already queued for 1.18.4. Latest release is 1.21.3 So I'd like to see an updated lightdm package. Thanks! :-)
Yes, an updated lightdm would be great! Thanks!
lightdm-1.18.3-1.fc25 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 25. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-3f93b51235
I tried to install lightdm-1.18.3-1.fc25 but: error: Failed dependencies: lightdm-gobject(x86-64) = 1.18.3-1.fc25 is needed by lightdm-1.18.3-1.fc25.x86_64 lightdm-greeter = 1.2 is needed by lightdm-1.18.3-1.fc25.x86_64 I forced the install of just lightdm-1.18.3, but then the system hung before displaying the login screen.
You need to install both: lightdm-1.18.3-1.fc25 and (at least): lightdm-gobject-1.18.3-1.fc25 at the same time or just wait until the package gets pushed to updates (or updates-testing).
Re: comment #6 FYI, fedora (25+) is currently tracking the 1.18 LTS branch (and f24 is tracking 1.10 LTS branch). 1.21 is the unstable/development branch (not suitable for stable distro releases).
