http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/tree/lightdm * Firstly, it would be -x, but it's used by root so It doesn't quite matter. * Actually, I think this should be a feature request for lightdm. Lightdm should honor other xsession dirs like ~/.local/share/xessions * Can't argue with that last point =)

Is the `/etc/lightdm/xsession` file maintained in some revision system? Or where should we suggest improvements? * I'd suggest changing -f tests to -r in most places, since those files actually need to be *read* * how about allowing for a user session wrapper, something like (at the end): userwrapper="$HOME/.xsession" if [ -x "$userwrapper" ]; then echo "System X session wrapper complete, running $userwrapper $@" exec "$userwrapper" $@ else echo "X session wrapper complete, running session $@" exec $@ fi * I've also noticed some inconsistencies that might be fixed, like for i in `ls $xsessionddir`; vs for script in $xinitdir/*;

@andreyv http://pastebin.com/71rw4Qx9 here is the link to the previously packaged file. Just save it as /etc/lightdm/xsession and make it executable. Then set /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf session-wrapper key to point at that file. Look carefully at lightdm.conf, each section is listed twice, first is commented out to show you the defaults, the second is the actual config.

Thanks for the explanation. Since the last update the session-wrapper line is commented out in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, and I still get the same result as @graysky — after login (to Xfce) I get thrown out and .xsession-errors reads "No such file or directory". Is it correct to try session-wrapper="~/.xinitrc"?

Thw session wrapper is not included in the source as it is different for each distro. A convenience script was included with previous packages of lightdm in the AUR, but is technically not required. It is used to set up your user session environment, and that is all dependent on your DE, and personal preferences. Some use ~/.xinitrc, some use ~/.xsession, some write their own scripts. Personally, I use /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc slightly modified to launch the DE selected from the greeter. /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is the closest Arch default you will get to the previously supplied script. Alternatively, you can just set the session-wrapper key to nothing in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and your DE should still launch. It is not recommended though, as your environment variables most likely will not be set correctly. So the fact that the script is not there is not a packaging or source error, as there are many different ways you can do that config, so it is impractical to try and provide a catchall solution. Cheers.

I don't think the wrapper is required. For me it's useful for /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d. But there might be a config value to bypass the wrapper entirely.

Wait a minute, how is this software supposed/intended to work if its source is missing a critical file?

dgbaley27 commented on 2012-04-08 12:41 (UTC)

Thanks, there are way too many layers here called "session" I think accountservice should be an optional dep.

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-04-08 00:30 (UTC)

@dgbaley27 It seems the Xsession script from the previous build has been omitted. Generally you can use a slightly modified version of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (I use this file and just change the end to launch my DE using exec $1 after executing the /etc/profile scripts) http://pastebin.com/71rw4Qx9 here is the link to the previously packaged file.
