Since I have no luck in tracking down the source of the error which is the topic of the post, I decided to make a completely fresh install of FreeBSD and install pkgs one at a time and see how things go.
I first installed xorg and was surprised that twm came up when I ran startx.
That surprised me because I hadn't installed drm-kmod or created a .xinitrc.
Next, I installed lxde-meta. This need an .xinitrc to get lxde started.
That consisted of:-
Code:
xrdb ~/.Xdefaults
exec ck-launch-session startlxde
I also needed to enable dbus at startup.
To my amazement there was no error like the one in the first post and the LXDE logout option produced a full menu with all seven options so have no idea as to how to fix the problem on my other system.
I didn't need to install or configure console-kit but see that console-kit-daemon is installed.
As a further test of this minimal system I installed chromium and that works as expected.
One thing that mystifies me is that xorg works without installing drm-kmod although
The Handbook suggests it is required.
I am running this on FreeBSD 15.1 on an old ThinkPad x61 which has 2GB RAM.
