After years of running KDM to start various desktop environments
flawlessly
(KDE, fluxbox, enlightenment, plasma) I had to replace it with SDDM. With
the arrival of x11-misc/sddm-0.14.0-r2 I am still able to start a session
with enlightenment, but I am getting access rights errors, for example my
user is unable to mount a USB stick. Also, when I log out it logs me
back in the first time and then logs out normally the second time I try
to log out. I am guessing something which should be sourced, is not, but
I don't know how to fix it.
For years now I have had the following files in place to control what
desktop manager starts:
$ cat /etc/env.d/90xsession
XSESSION="enlightenment"
$ cat /etc/X11/Sessions/enlightenment
#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent ]; then
eval "$(/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon)"
fi
/usr/bin/enlightenment_start
cat ~/.xsession
#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent ]; then
kill $(ps ux | awk '/gpg-agent/ && !/awk/ {print $2}') >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent ]; then
eval "$(/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon)"
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/urxvtd ]; then
/usr/bin/urxvtd --opendisplay --fork --quiet
fi
/usr/bin/enlightenment_start
I keyworded x11-misc/sddm-0.14.0-r3 and discovered enlightenment complains
it can't run the compositor with OpenGL. I tried starting a X session
from the console without DM, with 'startx /usr/bin/enlightenment_start'
but I also get similar symptoms, including inability to run compositor
with OpenGL. I get errors like this in ~/.xsession-errors:
ERR<5100>:eina_safety lib/efreet/efreet_ini.c:299 efreet_ini_string_get()
safety check failed: ini->section == NULL

da1, error message: org.enlightenment.DBus.Canceled Canceled by user.
I also tried entrance from bar overlay (it has not been updated in a while
and has a dependency on an obsolete package), slim (won't log me in) and
lightdm. When I run lightdm there are no such problems, enlightenment
starts with OpenGLcompositor, I can mount USB disks, but lightdm
installed and is running much more than what I really need for my
desktop.
Is there a way I can start enlightenment without running into all these
kind of errors? Can you see something wrong in my file contents above?
Your files look OK to me so I have no idea why you get those erro.
You also say lightdm wrks correctly, so lookee here:
alan@khamul ~/gitwork/ansible $ equery size lightdm
* x11-misc/lightdm-1.21.5
Total files : 119
Total size : 1.91 MiB
alan@khamul ~/gitwork/ansible $ equery size sddmdm
!!! No installed packages matching 'sddmdm'
alan@khamul ~/gitwork/ansible $ equery size sddm
* x11-misc/sddm-0.14.0-r2
Total files : 192
Total size : 4.78 MiB
The on that works is smaller and lighter than the one that doesn't.
I say dump sddm and stick with lightdm which works :-)
Yes, the thought crossed my mind. ;-)
It is smaller as a package as you noted, but it is running gnomey stuff like
/usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 and perhaps
/usr/libexec/at-spi-bus-launcher, which I am not sure I need.
Either way, if I were to start enlightenment with startx and skip using a DM
altogether, is there a way of starting enlightenment and ensuring it has the
appropriate access rights to run udisks2 and OpenGL?
You'll probably get better answers over at the enlightenment user list.
Now many folks here use e, I know I stopped years ago
