[Closed] Xinitrc user Login Issues

Hi,

I am aware this is a very commonly answered topic, but none of the threads so far have solved the issue. I am using lxde display manager, and as a user lxde blinks and resets when the password is entered (likely because of no /xinitrc flie), however /startxfce4] failes due to /failed VCE resume. (I can enter through lxde as root, however cannot use [code /startxfce4] due to the same error ar the users).
Any help is apreciated.

Welcome to the forums Equinoxx.

The ~/.xinitrc file is only used by the startx command, is has nothing to do with your DM so is unlikely to be anything to do with your issue.
If you do want a ~/.xinitrc so you can use the startx command then read the xinitrc wiki page.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: [Closed] Xinitrc user Login Issues

Thank you,

Is there a file missing to make the DM just blink or has lxde got a known issue (similar to lightdm)?
