I consistently get a deadlock of the XFCE window manager, immediately
after I logout of say Linux console 2, when e.g. XFCE is running on
console 1.
Procedure to replicate:
1. login to console 1
2. start xfce
3. switch to console 2 (e.g. CTRL+ALT+F2)
4. loging to console 2
5. logout of console 2 (e.g. CTRL+D)
I have the same issue, using very minimal system with a wm. Right now the
workaround I'm using is comment out the clear_console call in
~/.bash_logout
# ~/.bash_logout: executed by bash(1) when login shell exits.
# when leaving the console clear the screen to increase privacy
if [ "$SHLVL" = 1 ]; then
/bin/true
# [ -x /usr/bin/clear_console ] && /usr/bin/clear_console -q
fi
I'm also looking at the TTYVTDisallocate=yes line in
/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service ->
/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service
I haven't tried changing this, but it looks interesting. You might find
