[SOLVED] Names of sessions for each desktop environment?

Hi.

What are the names of the sessions for each desktop environment?

This is handy when configuring e.g. LightDM.

For example:

Code:

user-session=xubuntu

Thanks.

I think you can find the installed sessions in /etc/X11/Sessions and/or /usr/share/xsessions:

Code:

ls /etc/X11/Sessions
ls /usr/share/xsessions

Might be different in your distribution.

Hi cepheus11.

The second command gave this:

Code:

ls /usr/share/xsessions

Code:

fluxbox.desktop  kodi.desktop  mate.desktop  xbmc.desktop

Thank you.
