I only use the following in the .xinitrc file to start Xfce: xfce4-session

Best regards

It is very complete.

Xfce runs but ck-launch-session is not executed.

Here is the script related to ck-launch-session:

# run xfce4-session if installed
if which xfce4-session /dev/null 21; then

  # check if we start xfce4-session with ck-launch-session. this is only
   # required for starting from a console, not a login manager
   if test "$XFCE4_SESSION_WITH_CK" = "1"; then
 if which ck-launch-session /dev/null 21; then
   ck-launch-session xfce4-session
 else
   echo "You have tried to start Xfce with consolekit support, but"
   echo "ck-launch-session is not installed."
   echo "Aborted startup..."
   echo

   exit 1
 fi
   else
 # start xfce4-session normally
 xfce4-session
   fi

   exit 0
 fi

Thanks for your help.

 Hi,
So, does  xfce4-session start with out of console kit or does not start at
all?
Do you use display manager or startx?
Note that .xinitrc is used only by xinit (startx), not by xenodm/xdm.

ck-launch-session  is part of ConsoleKit, do you have it installed?

Hello,

Sorry for this silly question, but is consolekit installed ?

Additionally, how do you start your X session ? Using a login manager
(xenodm ?), or from the console using `startx` ?

The script below requires the variable `XFCE4_SESSION_WITH_CK` is set to
`1` to run the session through consolekit. If you use `startx`, could
you try to `export XFCE4_SESSION_WITH_CK=1` ?

Regards.

Christophe
