Re: Xfce with the .xinitrc file
Hi, So, does xfce4-session start with out of console kit or does not start at all? Do you use display manager or startx? Note that .xinitrc is used only by xinit (startx), not by xenodm/xdm. ck-launch-session is part of ConsoleKit, do you have it installed? On Fri, Apr 13, 2018 at 1:38 PM, Olivier REGNIER
Re: Xfce with the .xinitrc file
Hello, Sorry for this silly question, but is consolekit installed ? Additionally, how do you start your X session ? Using a login manager (xenodm ?), or from the console using `startx` ? The script below requires the variable `XFCE4_SESSION_WITH_CK` is set to `1` to run the session through consolekit. If you use `startx`, could you try to `export XFCE4_SESSION_WITH_CK=1` ? Regards.
