Launching xfce4 help.

cryticfarm · 2009-07-31 18:08:58

Firstly, I'd like to thanks everyone in my other thread help me get the base of arch linux installed. Thanks!

Ok, the problem is now, when I run the command

$ startxfce4

I get the error in a window:

Failed to execute the dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session

In a window named Unable to contact settings server.

My .xinitrc reads in the uncommented line:

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4

Also, openbox works.

Hello cryticfarm!

Same error.

Do you have D-bus and Dbus-core installed?

cryticfarm · 2009-07-31 18:52:09

I'm not sure about D-bus (Qs says no), but I have the core. What is the package name for D-bus?

Try to install.

install dbus-core and hal and add hal to the deamons array in rc.conf . or start it manual

 /etc/rc.d/hal start

your .xinitrc should contain:

exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session

Then run startx or use a login manager

New problem. When I try to start hal with /etc/rc.d/hal start it creates a failure.
^^
Nevermind, it was already running.
