Hi folks, |
2 |
|
3 |
just a little tip, for the archive: |
4 |
(took me some time to track this down) |
5 |
|
6 |
If you're using xdm and your session terminates immediately |
7 |
after login (w/o any clients started), you'll maybe have an |
8 |
bad ~/.xsession or ~/.Xclients file and also no xsm installed. |
9 |
|
10 |
The script /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession is called by xdm after login. |
11 |
This one now tries to call ~/.xsession (NOTE: *no* capitals!). |
12 |
Here you the user has to put its individual stuff, ie. starting |
13 |
the windowmanager, etc. Ah, this file, of course, has to be |
14 |
executable. |
15 |
|
16 |
If ~/.xession is missing or not executable, the Xsession script |
17 |
tries to call xsm as last resort. But if nothing could be started, |
18 |
the X session will terminate and xdm login prompt comes back. |
