 Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2015 2:52 pm Post subject: lightdm fails to start xfce |
 |
|
I have on my old Thinpad Gentoo with systemd etc.
I have had installed Enlightenment and ever since I deinstalled and installed XFce4 instead, I can't persuade Lightdm to start the system.
I thought that it had something to do with remnants of old sesson files for Entrance etc, but even though I checked everything I could thinko of, it still fails with a message that its greeter failed to open a session since a session already exists.
here is a result of "lightdm --debug --test-mode" :

Just to cut the noise, this seems like a critical part:

I forgot to add that ordinary startxfce4 works - I don't know about all the session details, but get into desktop...

I managed to solve it by upgrading to latest lightdm and lightdm-gtk-greeter.
I'm not sure which one was the culprit nor do I have the time to check.
I've noticed that one of them segfaults and tried to recompile it.- I thought I might have the same problem as mayn other had where it hat to be recompiled against new gtk+.
That didn't help, but upgrade did.
