[SOLVED] Problem starting Xfce4

I'm having trouble starting an Xfce4 session, it just won't load xfdesktop, in .xsession-errors it says this

(xfdesktop:556): libxfce4ui-WARNING**: 23:03:37.340: ICE I/O Error
(xfdesktop:556): libxfce4ui-WARNING **: 23:03:37.340: Disconnected from session manager.

And this happened after enabling autologin lightdm. On my Xfce4 I also have compiz added which starts normally, and as soon as I switch to xfwm4 I have a black screen with a cursor. My .xinitrc looks like this

#!/bin/bash

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

source /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc

exit 0

Re: [SOLVED] Problem starting Xfce4

I found the culprit, it's the screen configuration, it's about the resolution, the default is 1360x768 and xfce4 starts normally on it, and when I change to 1024x768 there is only a black screen with a cursor.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem starting Xfce4

Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
Also check the system journal and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump for related crashes.

Ftr. if you're using lightdm, your xinitrc is inert unless you're using https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Displa … _a_session

Re: [SOLVED] Problem starting Xfce4

That's a fairly old intel GPU, do you have https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/mesa-amber/ instead of mesa?

There's apparently also no EDID from the monitor, but

is the XGA change a manual attempt or simply the xfce session?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem starting Xfce4

I have the same mesa, and as for the resolution, the default one set by xfce is 1360x768 (and xfce starts normally), but it does not suit me and after changing to 1024x768 and after logging in again there is only a black screen with a cursor.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem starting Xfce4

Same as what?

after changing to 1024x768 and after logging in again

Yes, i got that. I'll just assume a language barrier and that this is from the xfce session startup.
Your signature says you're using compiz? What if you use xfwm4?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem starting Xfce4

On compiz everything starts, only when I switch to xfwm4 there are problems.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem starting Xfce4

It turned out that the problem is the latest package xf86-video-intel downgrading solves my problem. I remember that when there was an update to version 1:2.99.917+923+gb74b67f0-1, the desktop wouldn't load after reboot. Only after editing the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf to which I had to add this line

Option "DRI" "2"

This loads the desktop normally, but only when compiz is on. On xfwm4 it doesn't load at all.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem starting Xfce4

While for your IGP generation the ddx driver is typically better, see how the system fares w/o any xf86-video-intel and on the modesetting driver.

grep -ri intel /{etc,usr/share}/X11/xorg.conf*

to make sure there's no referencing config around.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf:   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf:   Driver      "intel"

Re: [SOLVED] Problem starting Xfce4

You'll have to remove that file along xf86-video-intel to test the modesetting driver.
(xf86-video-intel is kinda dying, it's a bad choice for newer IGPs and being badly maintained, might increasingly cause trouble for older IGPs as well)

Re: [SOLVED] Problem starting Xfce4

Many thanks @seth, after removing the xf86-video-intel package and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf everything works perfectly. The compiz session and the xfwm4 session start without any problem.
