Package: xfce4-session Version: 4.12.1-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
/usr/share/xsessions/xfce.session contains "Exec=startxfce4" On my system, this fails to start an XFCE session with the error message "/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on" (common error on the web) Indeed, starting X is handled by the DM itself, not by XFCE (lightdm in my case). I've changed it to "Exec=xfce4-session" and it works perfectly now. What about changing "Exec=startxfce4" by "Exec=xfce4-session"? -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xfce4-session depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-12 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.18-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-2 ii libfontconfig1 2.12.3-0.1 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3.2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.52.3-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-2 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.5-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.5-1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.5-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-18 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b3 ii libwnck22 2.30.7-5.1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.12.1-2 ii libxfce4util7 4.12.1-3 ii libxfconf-0-2 4.12.1-1 ii xfce4-settings 4.12.1-1 ii xfconf 4.12.1-1 Versions of packages xfce4-session recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.10.18-1 ii libpam-systemd 233-9 ii light-locker 1.7.0-4 ii systemd-sysv 233-9 pn upower <none> ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+7+b1 ii xfdesktop4 4.12.3-4 ii xfwm4 4.12.4-1 Versions of packages xfce4-session suggests: pn fortunes-mod <none> ii pm-utils 1.4.1-17 ii sudo 1.8.20p2-1 -- no debconf information -- debsums errors found: debsums: changed file /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop (from xfce4-session package)
