Dear Ross, Long time no see, I have new findings. By now I'm on 5.9.0-5-amd64, have longtime not tried to reactivate e, today found the time, and again, it reacts strangely. Maybe my setup is wrong, I have a ~/.xsession, which is a symbolic link to ~/.xsession-enlightenment, which says:
"""citation start""" #!/bin/bash if pgrep Xorg >/dev/null 2>&1; then syndaemon -d -K -R -i 1 exec /usr/bin/enlightenment_start else echo "Usage: by X/xdm. See X(7x)." fi """citation end""" What happens is that I see an Enlightenment screen showing on my (laptop) monitor for about a second, then the screen turns black. NEW: If I do nothing, screen stays black for quite precisely 30 seconds, no matter if on VT7 or VT1-6, then screen comes back. If in TTY1-6 it stays, if in VT7 as soon as I press a key or click a mouse it turns black again. But then sometimes also VT1-6 turn black again, apparently without my influence. And in .xsession-errors--where I redirect console output, there's: """citation start""": Xsession: X session started for enno at Di Aug 24 22:29:36 CEST 2021 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/ run/user/1000/bus dbus-update-activation-environment: setting DISPLAY=:0 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XAUTHORITY=/home/enno/.Xauthority localuser:enno being added to access control list dbus-update-activation-environment: setting QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting USER=enno dbus-update-activation-environment: setting LANGUAGE=de_AT:de dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting HOME=/home/enno dbus-update-activation-environment: setting DESKTOP_SESSION=lightdm-xsession dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/Displ ayManager/Seat0 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus dbus-update-activation-environment: setting LOGNAME=enno dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user dbus-update-activation-environment: setting PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games dbus-update-activation-environment: setting GDM_LANG=de_AT.utf8 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session2 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting DISPLAY=:0 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=lightdm-xsession dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XAUTHORITY=/home/enno/.Xauthority dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XDG_GREETER_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/lightdm/data/enno dbus-update-activation-environment: setting SHELL=/bin/bash dbus-update-activation-environment: setting GDMSESSION=lightdm-xsession dbus-update-activation-environment: setting QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting GPG_AGENT_INFO=/run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent:0:1 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting PWD=/home/enno """citation end""" I'm at a loss. -- // enno....@gmx.net /\\\ Mag.
