when executing startx with .xinitrc looking like:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startlxde or
ck-launch-session startlxde
Other window managers I've tried are twm, openbox, and xfce. All these
seem to work fine.
Has anyone built lxde to run properly with the latest versions of
packages in BLFS?
Just to close out this thread, I found the problem. When building KDE,
we instruct the user to set the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variables. These are used internally by lxsession and if
not set properly, will cause lxde to fail to load. The solution was to
unset these variables.
Bruce,
I think this needs to be fixed in the book, I've read in the lists
people using the same machine, but different DEs, and we should not let
them have problems with these variables.
The *defaults* found at:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
are:
If $XDG_DATA_DIRS is either not set or empty, a value equal to
/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/ should be used.
We have /usr/share/ now so that should be OK.
If $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is either not set or empty, a value equal to
/etc/xdg should be used.
We have in */etc/profile* (don't you have it in your system?):
Yes, I do.
# Set some defaults for graphical systems
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share
but *no definition* of XDG_CONFIG_DIRS.
I would like to fix it by:
Either adding to /etc/profile:
export XDG_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/xdg
s/DIR/DIRS/
I'll do this at my next commit.
