[SOLVED] Use ck-launch-session dbus-launch when X starts at login

Hey
I hope this will be my last thread for a few days:

My "DE" is Openbox + PCManFM.
In order to mount my external hard drive in PCManFM, Openbox has to be started with "ck-launch-session dbus-launch exec openbox-session" in my .xinitrc.

When I was using manual login to virtual console + the startx command, mounting my external hdd worked flawlessly.

But now, I've set up a automatic login + automatic start of X at login following these articles, and it doesn't work anymore:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Au … al_console
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_Boot

So here's my question: How can I use Automatic login to virtual console + start x at boot + the ck-launch-session dbus-launch commands to get everything to work ?

I've blindly tried to put ck-launch-session dbus-launch in my Openbox's autostart file, but it wasn't successful.

Thank you, Archers !

What's in your .xinitrc file ?

#!/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 ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice

remove dbus-launch, it is started from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*
