Xfce XFCE4 doesn't start properly

[freezr]

Hi guys,

latest quarterly updates brought a lot of issues with Xfce4, the main issue is after the Lightdm login I got only the desktop image and nothing else.
I need to restart several time Lightdm before to get a functional desktop.

I have also many XFCE4 dumps on my home:

lagrange.core
thunar.core
thunderbird.core
wrapper-2.0.core
xfce4-display-setti.core
xfce4-terminal.core

This is a serious bug, how should I report it?

Thanks!

Nothing that will really help you, but I just upgraded a XFCE4 VM on the quaterly repo and got no trouble. I don't use LightDM.

That said, I struggled to make XFCE4 works at the base. It was simpler before...

Which FreeBSD version do you use?

I upgraded two of my pc's with FreeBSD 14.0 RELEASE-p6 and XFCE with lightdm without any problems.

I have your exact version, can you share your RC.CONF, perhaps you settings are better!
Do you have Nvdia as GPU?

Thanks!

Any ideas
1. Run outside of ligthdm:
# service lightdm stop
$ startx > xfce_log 2>&1
2. Delete or rename your ~/.config
3. Check the status of your disks: df -h
4. Missing deps?

I agree with what YYY__ has suggested. Running startx or probably startxfc4 from a commandline will give you more info. There is probably a "$HOME/.config/xfce4" directory that maybe move just that out of the way. There may also be a $HOME/.config/autostart directory to move out also.
I would not delete $HOME/.config thats where you have all the config for "all the things"
