[SOLVED] XFCE 4.10 Action Buttons Don't Work.

TuxLyn · 2012-05-12 00:46:08

Ever since I've upgraded to XFCE 4.10, my action buttons stopped working and I have some weird cd/dvd mount permissions problems. All my action buttons are greyed out and I can't use them except Log out. In previous XFCE version, all I needed to do is add this following line to ~/.xinitrc exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4 and it all worked for restart/shutdown. Also when I insert cd or dvd the icon on desktop appears but when I click on it it says this following message; Failed to mount, Not authorized to perform operation.

Thanks headkase, this fixed the problem.

I've added the following to ~/.xinitrc

exec startxfce4

Now everything works as expected.

Let me guess -- you are staring your session with Slim. Right?

If you are using SLiM, remove just "ck-launch-session" from your exec line. ConsoleKit is now integrated in SLiM so it needs to be removed from the launch line. You'll know it is the issue if "ck-list-sessions" shows more than one session.

Also, "dbus-launch" is redundant as well. "startxfce4" does that among other things for loading your session.

So, if you are using SLiM, your entire exec line could just read: "exec startxfce4" and you should be fine.

Ah, gee !! You spoiled my fun
I wanted to see if there had been a search, and whether any of the half dozen threads started in the last week had been seen.

Wow thank you guys for quick reply.

Was that it and is it now fixed? If so, edit your first post in this thread and add "[Solved]" to the beginning of the title!

I had the same problem.. Now I just removed "ck-launch-session" from my ~/.xinitrc and this fixed my problem too! Thank you!
