[RESOLVED] openbox-session being ran twice.

kevr · 2010-05-01 12:31:31

Hey guys, I've run into a problem here. For some reason, openbox-session is executed twice on the same X screen ( 0:0 ).

my .xinitrc is as follows:

#!/bin/sh

exec ck-launch-session openbox-session

Simple aye... anyways, everytime I use 'startx' or 'xinit' -- it runs two openbox-sessions on the same xserver. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please show us the error you get.
Create a new user and try again, may be it helps.

there is no error on starting it, the only error is when i log out it showed conflicts between XIO 0:0 on 2 instances, because theres 2 openbox-sessions on it.

and i'll try the new user, backing some things up first

Can you install htop or something and show the programs running?

Show the output of this:

 ps aux | grep openbox-session

i've solved it. the problem was conky. conky starting too early was forking the openbox-session for some reason, i set the delay on conky to 6s before executing in openbox/autostart.sh -- only one instance now. Going to have to report this to conky devs. Sorry for the trouble, marking as resolved.
