 Posted: Thu Nov 26, 2020 7:11 pm Post subject: xfce4 ~/.xinitrc using exec or not? |
 |
|
Hi, I take notes on how to install Gentoo, there's a part where I read on Gentoo wiki about xfce4 .xinitrc file.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xfce
gentoo wiki ~/.xinitrc contents section:
| Code: | ~/.xinitrcStarting xfce4 the right way when invoking startx
ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session xfce4-session |
should I add exec for the xfce4 ~/.xinitrc file? or no need to add exec?
echo "exec .. " > ~/.xinitrc
| Code: | | exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session xfce4-session |
| Code: | | ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session xfce4-session |
I'm still using other DE,I haven't tried this on xfce4 startx, if anyone using xfce4 please reply, Thank you. |

Well, Consolekit is deprecated, so we should be moving away from it. You should be using elogind/pam, and you should be getting a session if your login setup is setup correctly.
Are you using 'startx' or 'xinit' or otherwise manually starting X11? Then .xinitrc may be the right place to put stuff.
If you're using a graphical login, then .xinitrc is not the right place to put things. Seems to automagically work for me.

Thanks I'm using graphical manager and now I understand how. 
also my bad I did not see the wiki already mentioned just "replace the above line in ~/.xinitrc with the following entry " |

If using a display manger (graphical login) the user's .xinitrc is not used.
