[SOLVED]Cinnamon 2 problems after use xinit to start it

zaxdan69 · 2020-08-21 12:14:50

I was trying to bypass this issue:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=258353
and I decided to stop using lightdm and login to cinnamon via xinit. First I tried to follow wiki, to autologin without desktop manager. I tried "xlogin.git" suggested here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/User
which doesn't work. The service running fine and mentions that cinnamon started but only a black screen appears(I have disable lightdm).
So, I followed this:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=5544
which worked fine and I started to use cinnamon and also start another xserver with openbox to check if switching vts works.

I tried some times and I didn't have problems, so I continue to use cinnamon until I opened kodi and use a usb remote control which worked fine on cinnamon when started via lightdm.
When tried to use a multimedia key(I tried WWW and E-Mail keys) cinnamon freezed and I couldn't restart it even via another tty as wiki describes. Only way is by kill xserver.
This is the first problem.

After that I revert the changes I made and return to lightdm. And this is the second problem.
I can no longer login to cinnamon via lightdm. Appears only the wallpaper and stuck there.
When this happens this is what has
.xsession-errors :

cinnamon-session[7753]: WARNING: t+0,00004s: Could not make bus activated clients aware of DISPLAY=:0 environment variable: unable to connect: Connection refused
cinnamon-session[7753]: WARNING: t+0,00021s: Could not make bus activated clients aware of GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=this-is-deprecated environment variable: unable to connect: Connection refused

Cinnamon still run fine with startx except the problem with the keys which freezes it.

I tried with xfce and the same thing happens there too. Freeze when tried to press a media key on remote and only cursor moves, and then login via desktop manager gives error connection refused.
Here is the crash from journalctl:

What's going on with startx? I never had problem with this remote, and still I don't if I login to kodi session from lightdm for e.g.

Why didn't you use the Arch Wiki?
These things work slightly differently on Debian.

I found this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=216001&p=2
which is quite old, but the problem is the same and also has some solutions.
In my case the problem caused from xlogin-git which suggested from wiki. I first tried this and it didn't work. So, I disabled the service which needed to be enabled and tried the different way I posted above which worked.
But this package installed a file 25-xlogin in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ this was responsible for the problems. When I removed the problems solved.
This option doesn't work and cause problems.
