Good to be back. This time I installed arch no problem, got X working, got xfce4 working, no problem, everything worked. (except for NOOP). I installed Cairo-Dock. Fine. The next day it all went to hell. An Xorg stopped working. I tried removing cairo-dock, I tried everything, I uninstalled packages, reinstalled, I used the ARM packages, I even used the base command listed in the Pacman tips and tricks wiki page to remove all the packages and reinstall. Nothing. The log file gave me crap, and apparently all the "errors" that I showed, everyone here claimed were harmless errors, as a result of default kernel settings (maybe I'll compile my kernel eventually to get rid of those errors). Then X threw me a freaking bone. Something like "~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc error line 0: cairo-dock not found" And then I remembered. The Arch wiki said to create that file and add this to it:
cairo-dock &As soon as I removed it, I ran startx and immediately was booted into xfce4.
All that for that damn line. I am so pissed I lost sleep over that damn line. >_<;
Can anyone give me an explanation as to why that thing broke my X? It never gave me that error until I reinstalled arch, and even then my config file is in "~/.xinitrc" not ~/.config
Everything is working fine now, I Just want to know why it killed everything. Thanks !
