Startxfce4 unable to load failsafe session as non-root user

hello.world · 04-16-2020, 11:04 AM

OK, I just tried something.

I booted the system and logged in as my normal user (command-line only). Then, I issued the following command:

Code:

startx > ~/.x-session-errors 2&>1

Here, I got the "Unable to load failsafe session" popup as I have been for a while. However, I tried looking at the contents of .x-session-errors (via cat .x-session-errors) and there was nothing there. Then, I looked at the contents of the file "1", and it contained the "X server is already running..." line. However, it was my first time starting X after booting. The file even includes today's date/time, so I know I'm not looking at old output. Here is the entire file:

Code:

Probably one space too many somewhere.

I have to apologise:
The command was/is wrong. Where it reads

Code:

2&>1

it should actually read

Code:

2>&1

Sorry.

No worries, we all make typos.

Here is the output of the command:

Again, I see that it thinks X is already running, even though it was my first time running startx after booting the system.

Again, as I already pointed out in post #13:

Is there a GUI already up and running when you startxfce?
FWIW, I believe you need to use either startx or startxfce4, not one after the other (I believe the latter is just a thin wrapper around startx or xinit).

Which file have you edited to configure the launching of X?
~/.xinitrc?
Show us that file.

Also, always show us which command produced the output.

business_kid · 04-21-2020, 10:01 AM

I'm going through a session here with xfce4 with a new install. I used runlevel 3, 2 user ttys

On one: startx >X_Problem 2>&1

On the other: read the logfiles, X_Problem & /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Both recorded different things.

hello.world · 04-21-2020, 11:54 AM

I should have clarified that there is no GUI on the system. In my last post, after you told me to run the command only once and not as root, I booted up, logged in via command line, and then tried

Code:

startx > ~/.x-session-errors 2>&1

. I was able to close the "unable to load failsafe session" ppopup by pressing the enter key, and the command stopped execution. Then, I viewed the .x-session-errors file by running

Code:

cat .x-session-errors

. That is all; I didn't retry the command.

If it helps, here are the contents of .xinitrc:

Code:

dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4

@business_kid: that's interesting. Here's my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

I should have clarified that there is no GUI on the system.

If there's no gui on the system, it wouldn't be generating Xorg.0.log and xfce4 would hardly be doing much. I take it you mean that X isn't starting? As for Xorg.0.log, all these

can be ignored, but they left one out: (EE) = error. Just look for (EE) and look to the next lines to see if X is worried about it. Your Xorg.0.log lookd good. You have EE beside missing vesa and fb modules, but X doesn't give a hoot - it just carries on.

XFCE4 is dragging in libraries from everywhere recently - Network-Manager, python3 stuff, gnupg, libmtdev(sp?). I normally wouldn't install NetworkManager in a fit, but had to for xfce4. It's becoming a real PITA. The way I made Progress was to start X as 'startx > ~/.x-session-errors 2>&1' then exit and use the 2 files together - /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and ~/.x-session-errors for the same session to trace faults libraries missing in one didn't show in the other. But my startup looks an absolute disaster. So I presumed it was me, and reinstalled afresh. It wasn't me. I'm coming round to the idea it was X, or XFCE4 to be precise. I'll pastebin the 2 files and post again with the url, so at least you'll know what to ignore, because I have X up and running.

Essentially you're trying to start X a second time there!
Comment that out and try starting the GUI straight from the command line like this:

Code:

dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4

or just this:

Code:

startxfce4

business_kid · 04-22-2020, 09:23 AM

+1 on ondoho' comment. I'll make that edit myself. I also found an error about being "unable to resolve keysym XF86FullScreen" was down to a file, iirc /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/inet. I just commented that line.

My paste is https://pastebin.com/RjdBGgWR, and I'm going to start a separate thread about all the [Meaningful, Colourful]<EXPLETIVES> in the log file. I've reinstalled afresh thinking I had messed something up, but I realize it wasn't my mistake, and is hardly my pc.

hello.world · 04-24-2020, 01:16 PM

What I meant was that there's no GUI except Xorg/xfce4. I'll try commenting out the contents of .xinitrc and running those commands.

hello.world · 04-29-2020, 10:31 AM

Ok, I tried running the command

Code:

 dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4 >~/.x-session-errors 2>&1

, and nothing really changed.

Here are the contents of .x-session-errors:

If you'd searched the site, you might have come accross this_thread

Internal error on keysym XF86FullScreen - it's in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/inet, and you can simply comment that line with '//' at the beginning of the line.
The whole dbus-launch thing is their problem. Apparently the first time you run it, it exits. The second time it complains that you've run it already. It's a bug which you can ignore; heads they win, tails you lose. I commented stuff out as per ondoho's suggestion, but ended putting it back in.

If the directory /home/vr/.cache/sessions/ doesn't exist, you can sort that as user vr with 'install -d /home/vr/.cache/sessions/'

Don't stop at that but check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors as well, preferably for the same session. Errors not in one are in the other.

I checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but there were no lines with an EE on them. I tried

Code:

 install -d ~/.cache/sessions/

but it didn't change anything.

How did the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file end? Post the last 10-20 lines

I'll say it one more time:
You have a file in your $HOME called .xinitrc or .xsession or .xprofile, something like that. Definitely starts with a small x. Show us all files matching that description.
