 Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 6:05 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] xfce4/xdm problem: blank screen after login |
 |
|
hi all,
Update:
* A full emerge , 'emerge -e world' solved this problem. Xfce4 started afterward.
* I had cleaned out some packages which I though I no longer needed using '--depclean' (mousepad and gle)
Normal re-emerging 'emerge world') did not solve the problem However after emerging with the 'empty tree' option (-e), xfce4 started up correctly.
I don't know the exact 'missing library'--even after the 'emptytree' emerge I still lack mousepad and gle. Regardless, XFCE4 works correctly.
edit: changed the subject to indicate the problem may lie with xfce4
I recently did system maintenance; revdep-rebuilt my system, rebuilt the kernel, rebuilt all modules, and restarted.
For the first time, X (xfce4) has a problem.
Note: i had previously upgraded to xfce4.8 . Xfce4 worked fine.
Context:
xfce4 4.8
X.org 1.9.2
Nvidia
2.6.32-gentoo-r25
xfce4.8
Usecase:
1) GUI Login page shows (i.e prompts for username)
2) I enter my user name and press enter
3) GUI prompts me for passwrod
4) I type password and press enter
5) Screen goes completely blank
Any ideas? What's odd is that the GUI login screen appears, the
I've included the xorg and slim logs. Nothing stood out (i.e. blatant errors), though I'm probably missing something
thanks
bill

What is in /etc/env.d/90xsessions ?
Should resemble:
XSESSION="Xfce4"
Still got DISPLAYMANAGER="slim" in /etc/conf.d/xdm ?

|
|
fwiw, I've checked both files. The values look good:
| Code: |
$ cat /etc/env.d/90xsession
XSESSION="Xfce4"
$ grep DISPLAYMANAGER /etc/conf.d/xdm
DISPLAYMANAGER="slim" |
Also to clarify (based on posts I've seen on the internet), in this case "blank screen" means "black screen"--i.e. absolutely black except for a cursor in the upper left corner.
Next : I'll try swtching from xfce4 to another window manager to see another lightweight manager works.
in the meantime, could someone point me to a log file which might indicate the source of the problem?
thanks |

Random thoughts:
If produces a black and white stipple screen, X is running
try changing to DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" then startx
ls -a and then rm all the .Xauthority .ICEauthority .serverauth* listings, not slim here, but if there are any slim+auth file names I'd kill them also, then startx or startxfce or xfce4-session
tried as root?
| Code: | | nano .xsession-errors |
may have useful info

I've update the original post with the solution, i.e. emerge-the-heck out of my system.
I reviewed my tracks to ask myself, as David Byrne sang, "How did I get here?"
I'm pretty certain that the bold (unmerging mousepad & gle) caused the problem. I'm sorry to say I'm not sure why I unemerged them...I thought I had a revdep-rebuild problem with them...
That said, after an '--emptytree' emerge, my system still lacks these applications (mousepad and gle)
bash history:
| Code: | 100 make && make modules_install && /home/bmilbratz/bin/copykernel.sh 2.6.32-gentoo-r25 && module-rebuild rebuild && echo ok
101 eselect opengl set nvidia
102 vi /boot/grub/grub.conf
103 ls /usr/src/
104 ls /usr/src/ -lth |head
[b] 105 emerge --unmerge mousepad
106 emerge -p --unmerge gle
107 emerge -pv --depclean gle
108 emerge --depclean gle
[/b] 109 emerge -upv world
110 reboot
111 ls /etc/X11
112 /etc/init.d/xprint start
113 ls /etc/X11/lib
114 less /etc/init.d/xprint
115 locate -b fonts | grep X11 | less
116 locate -b fonts | grep X11 | grep /usr/lib
117 ls /usr/lib
118 /etc/init.d/xprint stop
119 /etc/init.d/xprint start
120 locate Xprt
121 vi /etc/init.d/xprint
122 /etc/init.d/xprint
123 /etc/init.d/xprint reload
124 /etc/init.d/xprint stop
125 /etc/init.d/xprint restart
126 less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
127 emerge --search Xorg
128 emerge xorg-server xorg-drivers xorg-x11 xorg-cf-files
129 etc-update
130 less /var/log/xdm.log

here's the emerge log
