Failed to execute Login Command - Slim - DWM - Archlinux

kanazky · 2011-12-07 00:11:01

Login Manager: Slim
WM: DWM

nano /.xinitrc
conky | while read -r; do xsetroot -name "$REPLY"; done &
exec dwm

nano ~/.xinitrc
conky | while read -r; do xsetroot -name "$REPLY"; done &
exec ck-session-launch dbus-launch dwm

every time I login as root or user (doesn't discriminate) I get a Failed to execute Login Command!

What am I doing wrong???

(also I am using archlinux-simpleblack for slim login. Anyone prefer one of the other standard themes?)

Ran out of space on / while updating?

Btw: _Never_ log in as root.

I added a user account, I just get the same errors on that part of the log below as the root

I got 1 TB hard drive.... and this is only thing installed haha

Well, install standalonetray and consolekit etc then. (or stop trying to run them)

I installed stalonetray and consolekit but didnt fix my errors

kanazky · 2011-12-07 04:48:51

I don't see why conky would interfere, but if you can reproduce the problem with conky turned off, that will at least help you narrow the problem down.

Edit: In other words,

mv .xinitrc{,_bk} && echo exec ck-session-launch dbus-launch dwm > .xinitrc

Is ~/.xinitrc executable? I'm not sure if it matters, but mine is.
