After years of running KDM to start various desktop environments flawlessly
(KDE, fluxbox, enlightenment, plasma) I had to replace it with SDDM. With the
arrival of x11-misc/sddm-0.14.0-r2 I am still able to start a session with
enlightenment, but I am getting access rights errors, for example my user is
unable to mount a USB stick. Also, when I log out it logs me back in the
first time and then logs out normally the second time I try to log out. I am
guessing something which should be sourced, is not, but I don't know how to
fix it.
For years now I have had the following files in place to control what desktop
manager starts:
$ cat /etc/env.d/90xsession
XSESSION="enlightenment"
$ cat /etc/X11/Sessions/enlightenment
#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent ]; then
eval "$(/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon)"
fi
/usr/bin/enlightenment_start
cat ~/.xsession
#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent ]; then
kill $(ps ux | awk '/gpg-agent/ && !/awk/ {print $2}') >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent ]; then
eval "$(/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon)"
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/urxvtd ]; then
/usr/bin/urxvtd --opendisplay --fork --quiet
fi
/usr/bin/enlightenment_start
I keyworded x11-misc/sddm-0.14.0-r3 and discovered enlightenment complains it
can't run the compositor with OpenGL. I tried starting a X session from the
console without DM, with 'startx /usr/bin/enlightenment_start' but I also get
similar symptoms, including inability to run compositor with OpenGL. I get
errors like this in ~/.xsession-errors:
ERR<5100>:eina_safety lib/efreet/efreet_ini.c:299 efreet_ini_string_get()
safety check failed: ini->section == NULL

da1, error message: org.enlightenment.DBus.Canceled Canceled by user.
I also tried entrance from bar overlay (it has not been updated in a while and
has a dependency on an obsolete package), slim (won't log me in) and lightdm.
When I run lightdm there are no such problems, enlightenment starts with
OpenGLcompositor, I can mount USB disks, but lightdm installed and is running
much more than what I really need for my desktop.
Is there a way I can start enlightenment without running into all these kind
of errors? Can you see something wrong in my file contents above?
Your files look OK to me so I have no idea why you get those erro.
You also say lightdm wrks correctly, so lookee here:
alan@khamul ~/gitwork/ansible $ equery size lightdm
* x11-misc/lightdm-1.21.5
Total files : 119
Total size : 1.91 MiB
alan@khamul ~/gitwork/ansible $ equery size sddmdm
!!! No installed packages matching 'sddmdm'
alan@khamul ~/gitwork/ansible $ equery size sddm
* x11-misc/sddm-0.14.0-r2
Total files : 192
Total size : 4.78 MiB
The on that works is smaller and lighter than the one that doesn't.
I say dump sddm and stick with lightdm which works :-)
