 Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 2:49 am Post subject: xsession error: xsm not found |
 |
|
Hello,
Does xorg-server depend on the package x11-apps/xsm?
Could this missing un-installed package be the reason login fails when starting X via xdm?
When I create .xsession file, run xdm, then attempt login, I see:
Failed to execute login command
However, when I remove .xsession and install .xinitrc file, I can start X form command line via startx.
Any suggestions on what I could read to learn more about the differences between xsession method and xinitrc method?
Cheers!
PS: please let me know what info I need to supply... |

You can check that with equery. | Code: | equery -d x11-apps/xsm
* These packages depend on x11-apps/xsm:
x11-apps/xinit-1.3.2 (!minimal ? x11-apps/xsm) |
so yes(ish).

Thanks for the reminder about equery depends.
| Code: | $ equery d x11-apps/xsm
* These packages depend on x11-apps/xsm:
x11-apps/xinit-1.3.1-r1 (!minimal ? x11-apps/xsm)
|
So, how was it possible that my build process omitted xsm,
if I do not recall using the use flag "minimal"?
Very strange. I wonder if this is a bug.
It is notable however (and FTR) I did the emerge on xfce4
before xorg because I was hoping xorg would be a dependency of xfce.
It was not, IIRC.
On my box I currently see:
| Code: | # eix xorg-server
[I] x11-base/xorg-server
Available versions: 1.9.5-r1 1.10.4-r1 ~1.11.2-r1 1.11.2-r2 ~1.11.3 ~1.11.4 [M]~1.11.99.902 {dmx doc ipv6 kdrive minimal nptl static-libs tslib +udev xnest xorg xvfb}
Installed versions: 1.11.2-r2(11:34:36 02/09/12)(ipv6 nptl udev xorg -dmx -doc -kdrive -minimal -static-libs -tslib -xnest -xvfb)
Homepage: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/
Description: X.Org X servers
# emerge -tvp xsm
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] x11-apps/xsm-1.0.2 USE="-rsh" 143 kB
Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 143 kB
|
If portage and the ebuild was working correctly, is there a way
to get portage/emerge to pull in the xsm package via dependency
of xorg at this point?
If not, is the one-shot emerge the usual way to solve this problem?
thanks!

If "x11-apps/xinit" appears in the following dependency graph, and
xsm is not being included, then perhaps the problem is related to xinit?

I would expect that emerge -auvND world would catch that. If it does not then that is the perfect use for emerge -1.

I think that xsm is not included in your above graph because it is a dependency of a dependency.

This is what I would expect...
Uh... if a dependency of a dependency is broken then Gentoo is doomed, right?  lol!
I wonder if I can spot a bug by reading the ebuilds?
Seems something broken is lurking down there.
Is it likely to be a defect in an ebuild, as opposed to a broken portage engine?

Cool. I like small world files.
So, yes indeed, the X Session Manager was definitely the component that was mysteriously missing.
Now I can run xdm, see a typical login screen, and after auth I see a full desktop loaded.
(not a hung UI and message "Failed to execute login command" on a black screen)
As I was attempting to isolate the issue, I tried different window managers.
One of them brought up an xterm without the surrounding desktop.
Xorg errors indicated it could not find xsm.
This is all starting to make sense. 
Thanks much for the dialog, swordmaster... |
