 |
|
Clicking on restart takes me back to the login screen and logging back in my last session is not restored. I suspect the root cause is that ck-list-sessions shows "active = FALSE". But I'm not clear on how to get this changed to "TRUE". I'm using slim, and as suggested by ssuominen at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-947510-start-0.html in ~/.xinitrc I have | Quote: | | startxfce4 --with-ck-launch". |
Also in /etc/pam.d/system-login, I"ve added | Quote: | | -session optional pam_ck_connector.so nox11 |
So I'm missing something. Anything else need fixing? Thanks,
Fred |

Thanks for the suggestion. I had already looked at this, and done most of the things, I just did them all, (except I could not find "CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND" in my kernel (3.10.10). That did not do the job, but in ~/.xinitrc I had tried startxfce4 --with-ck-launch, and exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session, and probably some other things, but I did discover that using exec startxfce4 in ~/.xinitrc resulted in | Quote: | $ ck-list-sessions
Session2:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2013-09-01T17:41:17.701573Z'
login-session-id = '3 |
So this is some form of progress since now active=TRUE. Unfortunately that did not fix the main problem, namely that doing a restart just takes me back to the login screen. So I'm missing something somewhere. I'm not married to slim so I decided to try divorcing it. But not being clear on just what do do, I replaced | Quote: | | DISPLAYMANAGER="slim" |
with | Quote: | | DISPLAYMANAGER="sudo -u my_user startxfce4 -- vt7" |
in /etc/conf.d/xdm. That resulted in a different login screen, but other than that no real difference. So at this point I'm still stuck on this. I'd like some solution that does not have me typing something like :startxfce4" in a console. |

there had been a gconf problem lately, i used to solve it like this:
in a root terminal try it like this, for me it helped:
#chmod 777 /tmp
somehow, no idea why the permissions had been set wrong on the /tmp dir...... after this all worked fine for me again

| Thanks, but no help for me. Permission bits in /tmp were fine. (In my case the sticky bit was set, but following you suggestion had no effect, and the sticky bit comes back on a reboot.) |

| I should have mentioned that the big problem is that I lose all my session information when I log out or reboot. Given that I have 4 workspaces with two of them with lots of windows open, and the other two with just a 1 or 2, it's a pain to get things set up again. It is not a big deal to restart using "shutdown -r now". So a fix that would just save the current session would be useful even if it did not logout as it should. |
