Package: xfce4-session Version: 4.12.1-4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
xfce4 login via lightdm succeeds, but after logout, logging in again fails with first this dialog: "Unable to contact settings server. Failed to connect socket /tmp/dbus- XXXXXXXXXX: connection refused." and after pressing OK, the second dialog. "Unable to load a failsafe session. Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes: xfconfd isn't running (D-Bus setup problem); environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (must include "/etc"), or xfce- session is installed incorrectly." Repeatable every time. Problem persists over reboots. Workaround is to shutdown and restart. Using the default XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg I suspect recent dbus upgrades. Kind regards, Ben. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xfce4-session depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.20.0-1 ii libc6 2.23-1 ii libcairo2 1.14.6-1+b1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.8-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.106-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.4 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3+b1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.34.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.48.1-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.30-2 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-1+b1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.1-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.1-1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.1-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-15 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b1 ii libwnck22 2.30.7-5 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.12.1-2 ii libxfce4util7 4.12.1-2 ii libxfconf-0-2 4.12.0-2+b1 ii xfce4-settings 4.12.0-3 ii xfconf 4.12.0-2+b1 Versions of packages xfce4-session recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.10.8-1 ii libpam-systemd 230-7 ii light-locker 1.7.0-3 ii systemd-sysv 230-7 ii upower 0.99.4-3 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+7 ii xfdesktop4 4.12.3-2 ii xfwm4 4.12.3-2 Versions of packages xfce4-session suggests: pn fortunes-mod <none> ii pm-utils 1.4.1-16 ii sudo 1.8.17p1-2 -- no debconf information
