[SOLVED] X session gets terminated when log out of tty

[pjimenez]

Hello, I'm having an issue I hadn't had with previous versions of Debian, and I'm experiencing it now with the current stable version of Debian.

I have my user ~/.profile file edited so that when I log in to tty1, startx gets executed.

Code: Select all

# Will prompt x session at login
if [[ -z "$DISPLAY" ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
    . startx 
  logout
fi

The issue comes when I log out with my user of another tty (tty2 or tty3, for example). The X sessions crashes, and then after a few seconds it gets terminated. Any ideas?

My ~/.xinitrc looks like this.

Code: Select all

exec lxterminal &
exec openbox-session & 
exec lxpanel

had a similar issue and it was this:

remove clear_console in ~/.bash_logout
https://bugs.debian.org/805605
https://bugs.debian.org/810660
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/93164

I changed this so it applies to all new users:

Code: Select all

/etc/skel/.bash_logout

# ~/.bash_logout: executed by bash(1) when login shell exits.

# when leaving the console clear the screen to increase privacy

if [ "$SHLVL" = 1 ]; then
#    [ -x /usr/bin/clear_console ] && /usr/bin/clear_console -q
        /bin/true
fi
