I tried to build a straight forward BLFS with X and Xfce Desktop with Lightdm. If I use startx everything works. (I had to create the /tmp/xdg-$USER directory manually).

If I use Lightdm with greeter, starting it from 'init 5', I can login with my user credentials but after that a dialog appears with: "Unable to contact settings server. Could not connect: Connection refused." and the greeter dialog reappears.

I checked the process environment variables:
 - startx case: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/xdg-$USER
 - init 5 case: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
they are different but ok.

Did I miss a step in a configuration file? The access rights/owner on the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR directory are reasonable. I set up the .xinitrc file with the dbus-launch stuff.


I use BLFS 9.1
