[solved]X starts then exits immediately when using mate

I installed arch a week or 2 ago, installed mate and followed the new install guide and X simply starts successfully then stops instantly. Tried with nouveau and binary Nvidia drivers.

.xinitrc:

exec ck-launch-session dbus_launch mate-session

Re: [solved]X starts then exits immediately when using mate

Did you follow the Beginners' Guide suggestion to install twm, xterm, and xclock to test X? Did it work?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … ide#Test_X

I know it says the steps are optional, but it's usually a good idea, especially if you have problems.

Yes, that works fine, so it must be a mate problem.

Should be dbus-launch and not dbus_launch.

Try it with just this as stated in the wiki:

exec ck-launch-session mate-session

That fixed it, and I feel like an idiot now. Thank you

No worries. Don't forget to mark it as solved.
