Automatic logout

Crounus · 2017-04-07 20:46:44

Hello everybody,

I have a strange behavior recently.

I'm using Arch Linux x64 with Xfce for quite a while now. Some months ago I bought an AMD RX 470 which was the only change I made within my system for a longer time. After the installation of the new GPU, it ran for weeks without any problems.

Since round about 1 week my system now starts to log me out spontaneously and I don't know why. My syslog doesn't show anything. dmesg also shows no errors. I can't find the problem. I dualboot with Windows 7 and it seems like there isn't this error at all here. I just use my system (Terminator with multiple splits opened, vlc as well as Firefox) and it logs me out. There is no time window when this happens, it's completely random ..

Does anybody else have this strange error right now? Does anybody have an advise for me?

Thanks a lot.

What do you mean by "logs you out"? Does just your X session end (how do you start it)? Or is your user fully logged out? If so, are you left with a tty login prompt? Or what?

Not a Kernel & Hardware issue, moved to NC

Really? Newbie Corner? Well, if you think so

X Session ends, so yes a fully logout. LightDM shows me the login screen again. I'm not thrown back to tty.

Xorg.log would have helped...

Of course, sorry, forgot about that.

It's definitely not a kernel and hardware issue. Perhaps there'd be other sections that'd be appropriate. But 1) you are new, and 2) your post was completely devoid of *any* relevant information - not even an actual description of the symptoms. So yes, NC.

And I'm apologizing for that. I thought it might could be a Hardware problem due to the AMD GPU and / or driver as I mentioned in my first post. Also, I thought my smiley has shown that my other post was meant to be sarcastic but anyways, if you need any other additional information than my XOrg.log, please let me know.

What DE/WM are you using? That would be my suspect number one in this case. (once it terminates, your X session terminates)

Please post

journalctl -b 0

for a session when you got logged out. Also, ~/.xsession-errors (if it exists).
