Xorg log file of start xfce desktop after installation

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0

I have installed opensuse 12.3 rc1 x86-64 on VirtualBox 4.2.6.

The xfce desktop was fully functional after the installation process. After applying the available online updates and a system restart I can not login to the xfce desktop anymore. After the login procedure on the login manager the system returns to the login manager again. I have no problems to logon on the Gnome, IceWM, KDE, LXDE, OpenBox, TWM desktops.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install opensuse 12.3 rc1 x86-64 on VirtualBox 4.2.6.
2. Pick xfce desktop as default desktop and also select kde, gnome and lxde
3. After installation process apply available online updates
4. Restart system and try to logon xfce desktop
Actual Results:  
Logon on xfce desktop not possible
xfce desktop does not startup and system returns to login manager
desktops Gnome, IceWM, KDE, LXDE, OpenBox, TWM start up correctly

Expected Results:  
normal start of xfce desktop

I have the same problem with the x86 version of opensuse 12.3 rc1.

This could be bug #789068, can you try installing xfce4-session and xfce4-power-manager from home:gberh:branches:X11:xfce and see if it fixes the problem?

If not I need the other lightdm logs since X is not crashing here, can you please do the following immediately after the login failed:
- switch to a console, log in as root
- tar cvf /tmp/bnc806348-logs.tar /var/log/lightdm /home/YOUR USERNAME/.xsession-errors
- attach /tmp/bnc806348-logs.tar here
Comment 3 Forgotten User PoQ9LLo9Cj 2013-02-26 23:02:34 UTC
Yes. It seems to be bug #789068. After installation xfce4-session xfce4-power-manager from home:gberh:branches:X11:xfce the xfce desktop starts up now for the x86 and the x86-64 version of opensuse 12.3 RC1.
Comment 4 Forgotten User cAXlJ_FoSf 2013-02-26 23:16:52 UTC
OK, seems an update of polkit-default-privs (which is the cause of this bug) is underway. Once home:gberh:branches:X11:xfce gets a bit more testing I'll publish it as an update to 12.3.
