[SOLVED] XFCE4 won't shut down and other FGLRX issues.

abhinavg90 · 2009-02-10 20:09:12

I am using ArchLinux (kernel 2.6.28-ARCH) on my laptop and XFCE4 desktop environment. After the last kernel upgrade, my xfce won't shut down. If I choose to shut down from the XFCE shut down dialog, it exits X with some errors and I am at the terminal. Here I can do a sudo halt. I think this has something to do with fglrx ( Graphics card : ATI Radeon x1200 series ).

Along with that theres this small issue with fglrx for quite some time. No matter what desktop environment I use ( tried kde4, lxde, xfce4, openbox, fluxbox, enlightenment), if I start X, and then exit X and start X again, I get a segmentation fault of some kind ( shows a stack trace ). If I press ctrl-alt-del at this point, it restarts. If I mess around, it gives me a kernel panic. Now I can avoid all this by just restarting fglrx before restarting X ( sudo rmmod fglrx && sudo modprobe fglrx ). Then it works perfectly. But this keeps me from using GDM/KDM/SLIM.

Here is the output of the terminal from startx to attempting a shut down ( where it exists to terminal ).

This small change should solve your shutdown problem:
.xinitrc

exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session

Sorry, I can't help you with with the other problem.

methuselah · 2009-02-10 20:26:56

For xfce4 shutdown and reboot you probably have to fix the Policykit.conf: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 19#p496619

I just got helped with this myself.

If you use my /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf make sure you use your own "login name"...... mine is "seventy3" so use your own "$USER" name like the HAL ArchWiki page says here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL … utomounter

Thanks peart and methuselah.
peart's solution worked.

I will see what can be done about the fglrx problem.

Thanks so much I lost so much sleep over this. I can finally go to bed.
