I was struggling with ConsoleKit before landing to this PR...

I use a mere startx, together with my .xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
# SLiM now starts Consolekit
# Xfce now starts DBus
# Temporary workaround
# setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout fr,ru -option
grp:alt_space_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
DB="dbus-launch --exit-with-session"
CK="ck-launch-session"
case $1 in
slim-autologin)
# Separates SLiM autologin from vt launch.
# Requires patching SLiM, or SLiM autologin default to *) below !
exec startxfce4
;;
default)
# SLiM default session (To set a system-wide default session, override
"default" in slim.conf).
exec startxfce4

startxfce4)
exec startxfce4

exec ${DB} mate-session

lxde)
exec ${DB} startlxde

# exec ${CK} ${DB} openbox-session
exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch

You are absolutely right, that is the way to start Xfce from the virtual
consoles (and that is basically what is done when I run startx).

I have heard about xfwm4 using Xpresent and being an OpenGL compositor in a
mate pull request, inspiring mate guys ;-)

I have replaced xfwm4 with compiz for years (by overriding xfce4-session.xml).
So far so good!
> What is the exact setxkbmap command you are running?
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout fr,ru -option
grp:alt_space_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

I have written a French login class in login.conf to have LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 in
my environment. I will investigate further on this particular aspect.

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=244290 Guido Falsi changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|FIXED |--- Status|Closed |In Progress --- Comment #38 from Guido Falsi --- Reopening this bug. (In reply to Samy Mahmoudi from comment #36) First of all I'm not an expert about modern desktop practices and while I try to do my best to maintain XFCE ports I don't have a full grasp of all the freedesktop.org standards and tools, like consolekit and the like. I may be wrong but I can state the following: SLiM has been unmaintained for years and does not adhere to all the latest practices, so problems when using it and not applying workarounds can be expected. Also launching a modern desktop environment from console (or old display managers) can require special care. in detail: >FACT 1: Starting xfce4 from vt, the up arrow key is not correctly mapped >(pressing the key makes the xfce4-terminal cursor blinks but does not show >previous shell commands...) and my compiz desktop switcher >(CTRL+ALT+AN_ARROW_KEY) does not trigger. Exactly how do you start xfce from console? In such case I think the correct command is: startxfce4 --with-ck-launch This wraps Xorg in consolekit which provides some needed services. Have you tried this? Also, being xfwm4 a compositing window manager I'm not sure if using also compiz at the same time is supported or they could conflict in certain situations. Regarding the other facts II admit I have no idea what is happening. I've never used autologin. What is the exact setxkbmap command you are running? Also, what locale have you setup in your environment? That could be affecting things. I'll followup with the patch to the ports that you can try, but it's a minor change that, most probably, is not going to affect what you are seeing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ freebsd-xfce@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xfce To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-xfce-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=244290 --- Comment #36 from Samy Mahmoudi --- By trial and error I have noticed some things that might be interesting. Context: libxfce4menu-4.14.1_1 12.1-RELEASE-p5 amd64 FACT 1: Starting xfce4 from vt, the up arrow key is not correctly mapped (pressing the key makes the xfce4-terminal cursor blinks but does not show previous shell commands...) and my compiz desktop switcher (CTRL+ALT+AN_ARROW_KEY) does not trigger. FACT 2: When using SLiM autologin or lightdm autologin: same faulty behavior. FACT 3: - When manually setting my SLiM session to "Xfce Session" (by pressing F1 at the SLiM login screen): not problem at all after the start. - When using SLiM "default" session (which I have mapped to startxfce4 in my .xinitrc) by NOT pressing F1 at the SLiM login screen: no problem at all after the start. - When using the lightdm login screen: no problem at all after the start. FACT 4: Adding a setxkbmap command at the beginning of my .xinitrc works around the SLiM autologin but not the lightdm autologin. My understanding is that the underlying problem is not resolved, despite revision 531554, so I am quite comforted by comment 35. That's why I wrote comment 34, in the hope of testing your first reworked patch. FACTS 3 and 4 may just reveal variants of the same workaround. Moreover, these workarounds may not be sustainable during the whole session lifetime. Now I will rather test the rereworked patch ;-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ freebsd-xfce@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xfce To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-xfce-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
