Nemesis bugs and will not boot in graphic mode with:
export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 #for plank proposed by IVD
in
/mnt/sdb3/1_nemesis/changes/home/guest/
I imagine that it should not be file permissions.
Any idea about what went wrong?
Thanks.

the thing here is: the graphical session is started by ~/.bash_profile > /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, so creating your own ~/.xinitrc without the required line:
Code: Select all
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/startxfce4
ain't going to work..
so, either do that or try the export line in ~/.bash_profile (added to it) or maybe in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc..

It took me time, because I could not get it going with your proposition. Here is what I have done with the info from the following threads:
1) what to do:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=243298
2) how to do it:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Start_X_on_login
So here is ~/.bash_profile
Code: Select all
# plank does not start so:
XDG_SESSION_TYPE='X11'
# Start x on login
if [[ -z $DISPLAY && ! -e /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ]]; then
exec startx
fi
# Use settings from ~/.bashrc
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
source ~/.bashrc
fi
So I imagine that this is essentially your proposition.
Thanks so much.
