error to start xfce4

lordalbert · 2007-02-13 22:31:14

Hello. I'm trying to start xfce4, but it gives me an error:

/home/user/.xinitrc : line 9 : exec xfce4-session : not found
waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath:FPE "usr/share/fonts/misc : unscalde" refcount is 2, should be 1

Can anyone help me? i remember that for xfce, the command is "xfce4-session". It's false?

Do you actually have xfce4 installed? 'exec xfce4-session' in your .xinitrc should work.

Is 'user' your actual username?

Where is your .xinitrc located?

yes, xfce4 is installed

$ pacman -Qi xfdesktop
Name : xfdesktop
Version : 4.4.0-1

the user is 'matteo' and it is my actual username. .xinirc is located in /home/matteo The username is ok.

Try typing startxfce4

startxfce4 doesn't work. The comand doesn't exist

xfce is more than xfdesktop
install xfce by pacman -S xfce4. that should give you all what you need.

yes, i've installed all xfce4.

btw, it's very strange that it doesn't work...

is /opt/xfce4/bin in your $PATH?
