This is output produced by the GUI immediately upon entering it. CUPS I do not have it started at boot, so its a don't care. What I do care is the "killswitch manager" message. In the GUI exit menu, Switch User is disabled. Honestly, I do not even know where to start with fixing this problem. Any suggestion would be welcome.

"killswitch manager" and Switch User in the logout menu are not related.

"blueman" is the bluetooth manager. Have a look at your devices. If your machine is equipped with a bluetooth device, make sure it's activated in BIOS. If it's not activated, and you want to keep it disabled, use your GUI (I assume KDE) to turn off the KDE bluetooth service.

To make the CUPS error go away, you might want to make sure the /etc/rc.d/rc.cups file is not executable.

Thanks. About CUPS, /etc/rc.d/rc.cups is not executable. About bluetooth, I have to investigate. Thanks again, STDOUBT.

Maybe hplip is trying to find a CUPS printer?

I do not know. If I could get rid of only one of the error messages output by programs run in the GUI at startup, I could see further up in the F6 console, the console from where I start X. For the X messages, I have /var/log/Xorg.0.log. How do I know if lip is being run?

Have you tried pressing Shift+Page Up? That normally scrolls the terminal upwards.

Of course I did. When getting back from another console the buffer is lost.

startx > startx.log 2>&1

This will give you a file containing the output of startx
