https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191296 Mikhail T. <mi@ALDAN.algebra.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |mi@ALDAN.algebra.com --- Comment #2 from Mikhail T. <mi@ALDAN.algebra.com> --- Oliver, xdm is a perfectly cable login-manager and there is no reason xfce4 should not be working with it. The solution is proposed here: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8841 Following the example given over there, I modified my own ~/.xsession to initialize dbus before launching startxfce4: if [ -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ] then eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` fi exec ...... startxfce4 With the above work-around, I am able to login now, but the xfce4 port should have a new patch added as a fix to make work-around unnecessary. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
