[Bug 967232] Re: unable to load desktop session in xubuntu precise beta 1
LightDM seems to initiate the user session properly (/usr/sbin/lightdm- session startxfce4). However, the Xfce session fails to load and you end up with a broken Unity/Compiz session according to .xsession-errors. Please login on a virtual console (tty1) and try to run the command startxfce4 manually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967232 Title: unable to load desktop session in xubuntu precise beta 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/967232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 967232] Re: unable to load desktop session in xubuntu precise beta 1
Please login on a virtual console (tty1) and try to run the command startxfce4 manually. Summary : startxfce4 does not trigger the bug. I ran startxfce4 -- :1 because another user session exists on :0 . Session started normally, with a window telling about first xfce session (I created the account for the purpose of the tests) and offering default or empty settings. I chose default and had a normal XFCE desktop. Then I logged out and tried again logging in the same used through lightdm. The bug appeared again as described yesterday. On this test I used the switch user feature to preserve session :0 Yesterday, I had no such constraint (I even restarted lightdm) and bug appeared also. So, this seems to be related to lightdm (independently of switch user feature). If you need more information (logs, whatever), please ask. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967232 Title: unable to load desktop session in xubuntu precise beta 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/967232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Here is .xsession-errors of a freshly created account logging on xfce for the first time. Bug was reproduced : no window, no panel, only background picture (with 12.04 theme gradients). Left click anywhere does nothing. Click and drag draws a selection rectangle (nothing to select). Right click anywhere shows file manager desktop menu : create new folder, create new document..., organize desktop by name, keep aligned, paste (greyed out), change desktop background. lightdm log to follow (in the following hours) Regards. ** Attachment added: .xsession-errors of a freshly created account logging on xfce for the first time. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/967232/+attachment/4030236/+files/.xsession-errors -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967232 Title: unable to load desktop session in xubuntu precise beta 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/967232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I restarted lightdm to have a clean log free from clutter from previous sessions. Please find attached /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log as requested. Warning about gnome-screensaver is normal : gnome-screensaver is uninstalled on purpose. I don't know what WARNING:root:timeout reached, exiting means. Hope this helps. ** Attachment added: lightdm.log https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/967232/+attachment/4030361/+files/lightdm.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967232 Title: unable to load desktop session in xubuntu precise beta 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/967232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Is this problem still reproducible in the final release? If yes, does it affect all user accounts? ** Changed in: xfce4-session (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967232 Title: unable to load desktop session in xubuntu precise beta 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/967232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 967232] Re: unable to load desktop session in xubuntu precise beta 1
Is this problem still reproducible in the final release?
Yes. I just succeeded in reproducing it, see below.
The laptop is used daily and regularly updated.
$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
If yes, does it affect all user accounts?
Yes, the bug affects all user accounts.
All users logging in on xfce session experience this bug. If you create
a fresh account and login on xfce session bug happens.
I provided users a workaround with a .xsession containing these lines
(you can see several fallback options, most were probably never needed,
the sleep 2 and first exec lines would be enough).
$ cat .xsession
#!/bin/bash
{ sleep 2 ; xfwm4 xfce4-panel ; }
{ sleep 4 ; xfwm4 xfce4-panel ; }
exec xfce4-session
exec gnome-terminal
exec x-session-manager
That workaround was so effective that I even forgot this bug.
Still the bug is real. I just reproduced it by moving away the .xsession
workaround and logging in.
Regards,

[Bug 967232] Re: unable to load desktop session in xubuntu precise beta 1
Hi Santiago, I think I have same problem here. Log in, no window manager, no panel. ** Workaround I use a different workaround: * press alt-f2 * the run program dialog appears * move mouse into it to focus it * type xfwm4, press enter * you now have a window manager * press alt-f2 again * type xfce4-panel Now you have something to work with. ** Additional information Variants workarounds are probably possible (what about typing xfce4-session ?). Another specific information : in my context there is a recorded session (only Thunderbird, actually), and it is reopened automatically by session manager. This may help pinpoint the problem. ** Severity A normal user experiencing this bug is left clueless about what's happening and has no option to fix. For this reason I would rate this bug as severe. (Actually, this happens on my wife's account and make a poor case for Ubuntu as she came from Mac.) Reproducible here: sometimes (maybe around 10%-30% of times ? rough guess). ** Next step How often is this reproducible on your side ? Can you try this : * record some session, then trigger bug and tell if session is restored when bug appears Thank you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967232 Title: unable to load desktop session in xubuntu precise beta 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/967232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
