I had a rather interesting problem recently. I dont have any display
manager and I open desktop environment from tty when needed. Previously
when I logged out from Xfce or closed down X server, it would put me back
on my tty session. Now when I do the same, it also logs me out from tty
and
I must login again. Is this the expected behaviour after some xorg or
kernel update? Or did I mess up something? I tried with both `startx` and
`startxfce4`. And to be sure that this is not an driver related problem,
I
also tried with `nvidia-xrun`, same results. Hi Ali,
To me it sounds rather like your session exists now with a killall
instead of <something else that only kills the startx process> before. Did you change something related to that recently? You could try to
check that hypothesis (I don’t know exactly how, maybe running some
additional forked process in your initrc and see if it gets killed when
you exit?). --
Ismael Hello, thanks for your reply, but I don't know how to try that neither,
still looking into it. Also this is a fresh install and almost all files
are default. /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is auto-generated at install with some
xterms and an xclock, and /etc/X11/xorg.conf was non-existent (later
generated with nvidia-xconfig to try with nvidia-xrun). Another observation
is even when x fails to initialize or force closed by pkill, same thing
happens.
