 Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2004 4:48 pm Post subject: .xsession isnt being used |
 |
|
I've got a working X.org/KDE setup, installed according to the gentoo desktop instructions. Now I am trying to get the gpg-agent to start by adding a line to my ~/.xsession file. I dont think .xsession is being read, either when I startx from the console or I boot into runlevel 5 and log in.
To start, could anyone give this newbie a suggestion on a command to put in .xsession to check that it is being read? I thought jut "xterm" would do it, but now I don't know.
Thanks! |

| I also noticed that I cant run "kdm -nodeamon" from the console as root. I have read that the problem may be that the runtime linker is not finding the shared Qt or KDE libraries. I think my .xsession file is not being looked for because the kde kdm/Xsession file is not being run, but I don't understand why that might be. |

| Try calling it .xinitrc. Note that .xinitrc won't be read by kdm though. |

No need to start gpg-agent that way anymore! Caleb and the KDE team have already supplied a much better solution. This only works for 3.3 though...

Works fine for me! |

the problem with this method is that it starts it for everyone...
paladin-zero, here is the solution to your problem. make sure you have the correct items in your xsession file. mine looks like this
| Code: |
bash-2.05b$ cat .xsession
#!/bin/sh
source /usr/local/bin/gpg-agent-start.sh
/usr/kde/3.3/bin/startkde
|
where im using the gpg-agent-start.sh script that you can find on the net. now you want to make sure the .xsession file is executable so
| Code: |
chmod u+x .xsession
|
now when kdm boots up you want to choose the custom session. this will make it look at your .xsession file instead of the /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-3.3.0 file.
