Re: [SOLVED] New slim, can't shutdown|reboot|suspend anymore

I also have two sessions.
My .xinitrc has already had a simple "exec startxfce4", there was no ck-launch-session in it before, so I cannot apply your fix unfortunately.
My slim.conf "login_cmd":  exec ck-launch-session /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session

Perhaps remove "ck-launch-session" while leaving everything else in your slim.conf login_cmd?

Thank you, that worked.
Silly me...

Does your login_cmd look the same?

Re: [SOLVED] New slim, can't shutdown|reboot|suspend anymore

You're welcome.  Nope this is my login_cmd line in slim.conf:

login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session

Updated:
SLiM Wiki

and

Xfce Wiki

Both as a note about SLiM's new support for console kit.

Re: [SOLVED] New slim, can't shutdown|reboot|suspend anymore

The new version of slim seems to work much better with the default .xinitrc.

What I have and works:

#!/bin/sh                                                                       
#                                                                               
# ~/.xinitrc                                                                    
#                                                                               
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)                        
                                                                                
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then                                        
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do                                       
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"                                                       
  done                                                                          
  unset f                                                                       
fi                                                                              
                                                                                
# exec gnome-session                                                            
# exec startkde                                                                 
exec startxfce4                                                                 
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice

I didn't need to make further changes to slim.conf or any other file.

Re: [SOLVED] New slim, can't shutdown|reboot|suspend anymore

dbus is the only addition I have to my exec line:

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4

And I have it because I explicitly want dbus to exit with the session.  I don't know if it is "cleaner" or not but it appears to work perfectly fine for myself.  From the Xfce Wiki:

There is still no need to start dbus-launch explicitly since startxfce4 takes care of doing that anyway.

So, explicitly starting dbus, as I do, like you say is probably superfluous.

However: dbus still needs to be in your DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf or "bad things will happen"™

Edit: removed "dbus-launch --exit-with-session" from my launch line, it is now just "exec startxfce4" like yours.  Nothing changed, it all still works, so, simpler is better.

Re: [SOLVED] New slim, can't shutdown|reboot|suspend anymore

Just to chime in here, removing ck-launch-session from ~/.xinitrc solved the problem for me too. Using SLiM with KDE.

xfce4 with slim. Solved here changing .xinitrc to

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4

thanks.

@headkase thanks man, this was bugging me. I hope pacman would have warned me after updating slim.

Re: [SOLVED] New slim, can't shutdown|reboot|suspend anymore

I had the same problem, found two steps necessary:

1. fix ~/.xinitrc as mentioned above, e.g.:

exec startxfce4

2.

# rm /etc/slim.conf
# mv /etc/slim.conf.pacnew /etc/slim.conf

Hope this helps anyone struggling with .xinitrc, dbus-launch, sudoers etc.
