I have been digging further into this enigma, and there isn't a single error reported in any logs, or in the journal, to indicate why LXDE terminates.

Is there anything in ~/.xsession-errors or in Xorg.0.log? I would not concentrate namely on errors, low priority messages from systemd user session may be helpful as well. Last messages before beginning of session stop phase might be most interesting.

May it happen that some security fixes in CIFS/samba cause issues with special files like sockets that some components may create in user home directories?

Hi Max,

There is absolutely nothing in the Xorg.0.log (~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log). There is nothing in any log indicating non standard behavior, or errors. There are messages of the session startup in the journal, and then messages from session shut down, nothing in between. Xorg.0.log is also properly stored in ~/.local/share/xorg, which proves that the home folder is mounted rw for the user.

I will try the systemd-homed you suggested, before digging even deeper. It seems to be a more solid solution than using libpam-mount. PAM is a bit fickle and tricky, and I would like to avoid it, if I could.

Thanks a lot for your interest.

Best regards,

Peter
