6pre7v3 not starting possible solution
I did some poking around in my /etc/X11 and think I found some issues:
- As Warren Turkal mentioned, the contents of /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ should
probably be chmod +x, so run-parts as used in /etc/X11/Xsession will return
a list of the files in that directory like we want. Otherwise it returns
an error of the form "run-parts: component %s is not an executable plain
file".
- The contents of /etc/X11/Xresources/ should also be chmod +x, or run-parts
as used in etc/X11/Xsession.d/30xfree86-common_xresources will be unhappy as
described above.
- In /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start, I changed the line:
exec "$REALSTARTUP"
to:
exec $REALSTARTUP
The problem was that $REALSTARTUP was set to:
/usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/enlightenment
and with the quotes around the variable exec would think that that entire
thing, spaces and all, was the name of a single executable.
Now my window manager will start from kdm without problems.
HTH,
