LXDE Does Not Start After GDM Login

ArchiMark · 2013-05-10 16:51:56

Hope someone can advise...

Have installed Arch and overall running OK...but having problem getting LXDE to start up after logging in with GDM.

Have followed instructions on this from the GDM and LXDE wiki pages...

After logging in with GDM (and see that LXDE is selected...), all I get is a dark gray screen with an arrow cursor on it....

Have to do ctrl+alt+f2 to get back to console and log back in and then do 'startx' to get LXDE running.

Any suggestions on how to get LXDE running after GDM login?

27 views and not one suggestion....

Does this mean that I've not provided enough info for someone to advise?

If so, what info is missing?

Thanks!

[Note]

Just realized I posted this in the wrong section..... ;-)

I have noticed some problems lately with GDM, though I don't know if its solved.
Either way, consider using others such as LXDM, KDM, etcetera.
And those 27 views mean that 27 people thought they might help you, but maybe they don't know how. Patience is key.
Good luck.

Yes, agree...I switched to LXDM and it is working now...
