Settings of panel are lost on restart :(

Kernel-1 · 2009-07-24 11:04:01

Arch x_64 with XFCE 4.6.1, with compiz which is working fine.

But Panel does not remember it's setup, after reboot.

And, second, I can't restart from XFCE menu, HAL is preventing it, but I don't know why.
I'm added in power group if that matters.

Thank you

Hmm.. when I logout from XFCE, I see some output that program cannot write settings to /home/user/.config/xfce... (somethong like that)
because permission is denied. Should I change permissions maybe? Is that the problem?

Installing GDM solved restarting / shutdown issue, but still panel settings are lost after restart

maybe your home directory has the wrong permission, or wrong owner, please correct it, and try it!

Btw, is your username 'user'? Funny

How does your .xinitrc look like?

man that sucks, so so much.
I have no idea what panel or anything to do with what's going on.
I recommend going back to ubuntu maybe?

@djszapi - no, my user name is "srdjan". I installed arch regularry, added user "srdjan", and
added it to all necesarry groups. Then, I installed XFCE according to Arch Wiki, by installing
xfce4 and goodies. Why would my home directory have wrong permissions, I think that
correct permissions are set automatically when user is created.

@droog (on going back to Ubuntu) - I don't see the point of this comment in the Arch forum.

@Anda:

[srdjan@Zverko ~]$ cat /home/srdjan/.x
.xinitrc .xsession .xsession-errors
[srdjan@Zverko ~]$ cat /home/srdjan/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
[srdjan@Zverko ~]$

I haven't edited it at all, after login I start xfce with startxfce4 command (as would uncommenting last exec line do).

Yeah, please don't be so rude droog

Hm.. I think the problem may be in:

/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml

It now look like this:

And I figured out that he is loading failsafe session all the time... how should I edit this file for it to remember my normal session?
