Hi Michael,
I found the time to do some more troubleshooting on my current machine.
I'm trying to explain my results here in detail, if there's anything you
don't understand please/ reproduce just ask me for more details ;-)
First of all, logging on @/dev/tty1 and starting e17 via 'startx' works
perfectly. I can do this at least 5 times in a row.
I wrote myself an init script for elsa. It is called 'enlightenment' and
you will find it attached to this email.
I also attached my current configuration file (called "elsa.conf").
I currently experience the following behaviour.
- Starting & logging in via elsa works perfectly. My e17 is as stable
as starting X manually
- When I finish enlightenment all windows get closed, my screen remains
black and mouse curses is a little X
You can find all elsa log messages (from the log file) until
this point in the file called 'elsa.log__hanging_e17_exit'
- When I go back to /dev/tty1 I can see a few user processes to be still
running. These are
gnome-pty-helper
tilda
gnome-keyring-daemon
dbus-launch
- After killing all these processes (order doesn't matter), X is doing
something, and my /dev/tty1 switches back to X. However the screen
remains black.
You can find all elsa log messages until this point (including
the previous messages) in the file called
'elsa.log__after_killing_remaining_user_processes'
Regards,
Mr. Olli

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
