Re: [slint] Re: After Upgrade 14 September 2021 Cannot Login to Mate (fwd)

["D.J.J. Ring, Jr." <n1ea@arrl.net>]

It might but it's separate from my issue of not being able to log into ANY Desktop Environment (DE) with my username UNLESS I specifically choose the DE I want in the Desktop Manager (DM) menu. This happens with all DE I have installed and with all DM I have installed, so it's independent of DE or DM and I don't know who to report the bug to. (I still haven't had time to try your suggestions, Jude.)

After I learned a work-around it's only an annoyance. 

I still only have speech in one virtual console 1 which boots into X Windows, consoles 2 through 6 are mute. I converted from Stable/Bullseye to Unstable/Sid without the bugs going away.

Best wishes,

David

Could the same thing have happened in debian?

Hello David,

thanks for your bug report!

The issue is that new mate-session-manager installs a file named:
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.mate-session
whereas in previous versions it was named:
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.mate

This confuse session-chooser as it looks for the latter, not the former.

As a workaround, please type this as root:
cd /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
ln -s xinitrc.mate-session xinitrc.mate

Then as regular user type:
session-chooser mate
startx

I will provide a new package mate-session-manager making this symbolic link as
a post-installation task later today.

Cheers,
Didier
