[SOLVED] Can't log out GNOME 3.16.2

I have enabled autologin to virtual console and X also starts on login. Every time, when I try to log out, GNOME just relog to my account. With enabled GDM i can log out, but system hangs at previous cosnole output (boot log). What am I doing wrong?

How are you starting Gnome?  A Login script?

Yes, .xinitrc script.

[kureijienjeru666@ASUS-ROG ~]$ cat .xinitrc
exec gnome-session

[kureijienjeru666@ASUS-ROG ~]$ cat .bash_profile
#
# ~/.bash_profile
#

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx

[kureijienjeru666@ASUS-ROG ~]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --autologin kureijienjeru666 --noclear %I 38400 linux

That is all I have.

In your bash profile, remove the exec from in front of startx
It replaces the running process with the execed process.  In essence, the bash process vanishes and an X process takes its place.   When X exits, you log out.
by just invoking startx, it runs X as a subprocess with the bash process as its parent.  When X exits, you will then drop back to the bash shell.

I have a similar problem, I'm using GDM and the shell is set to auto-login.
When I'm trying to log out, the display manager doesn't show up, but it hangs with the boot log.

Is this normal behaviour while using auto login?

Thanks Mark, I've disabled auto login now and am able to log out, so be it.
