dwm does not start from .xsession [Solved]

Postby fyahflyer » Sat Jan 28, 2012 22:28

Hello all,

i am used to work with dwm on gentoo and have some customization i want to use. However, when choosing XSESSION in the session menu and logging in, the screen goes black for a second and then im at the login screen again. It seems like the .xsession is not evaluated by the system or dwm is started and terminated immediately.

Here is my .xsession (as it works on gentoo):
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
#eval `dbus-launch --exit-with-session --sh-syntax`
#`which gnome-session`

urxvtd -q -o -f && urxvtc &
#amixer -q set Headphone 80% &
#display -window root repo/dwm/dwm.png

xsetroot -solid black
#xsetroot -solid gray30 &

#setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us
#xmodmap ~/fk_win_natural_keyb

#turns CAPSLOCK off and lets it act as ESC
xmodmap -e "clear lock"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x42 = Escape"


sleep 3 && firefox &
sleep 3 && thunderbird &
sleep 3 && evince &

wifi(){
      STATUS="X`/sbin/iwgetid`"
      if test "$STATUS" != "X" ; then
        ESSID="`/sbin/iwgetid |awk -F ":" '{print $2}'|sed -e 's/"//g'`"
        LINK="`awk '/wlan0:/ {print $3}' /proc/net/wireless |sed -e 's/\.//g'`"
      echo " $ESSID:$LINK"
if [[ $- != *i* ]] ; then
      fi
    }

batt(){
      FULL=`cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_full`
      PRESENT=`cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/present`
      CHARGE=`cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_now`
      STATUS=`cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status`
    if test "$PRESENT" != "0" ; then
      CHARGE=$((${CHARGE}*100/${FULL}))
      case $STATUS in
        Full)
          SIGN="=";;
        Charging)
          SIGN="+";;
        Discharging)
          SIGN="-";;
      esac
      echo " ${CHARGE}${SIGN}"
    else
      echo " AC"
    fi
    }

volume(){
     # STATUS="`amixer get Headphone |awk '/Front\ Left:/ {print $4}'`"
     # if test "$STATUS" != "[on]" ; then
     #   echo " Mute"
     # else
        echo " `/usr/bin/amixer get PCM |awk '/Front\ Left:/ {print $5}' | sed -e 's/\[//g'|sed -e 's/%\]//g'`    "
      fi
    }
cmusstats(){
 if test "X`pgrep cmus`" != "X" ; then
    TIME="`cmus-remote -Q |awk '/duration/ {print $2}'`"
    CURR="`cmus-remote -Q |awk '/position/ {print $2}'`"
    ARTIST="`cmus-remote -Q |sed -ne '/artist/s/tag artist //pg'`"
    TITLE="`cmus-remote -Q |sed -ne '/title/s/tag title //pg'`"
     echo "[$TITLE] [$ARTIST] [$CURR/$TIME] "
 fi
}

xset b 0 440 50 &  beep off

# start screen
if /usr/bin/screen -ls | grep -q Main; then
       /usr/bin/xterm -e screen -xr Main &
else
      /usr/bin/xterm -e screen -S Main &
fi

#original dwm
#while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"

#My settings
#while xsetroot -name "`cmusstats``volume``date '+%A, %d. %b %Y   %H:%M'`"
while xsetroot -name "`wifi``batt``volume``date '+%A, %d. %b %Y   %H:%M'`"
do
   sleep 1
done &
exec dwm

exit


the path in .bashrc should be correct,too since
Code: Select all
me@localhost ~ $ whereis dwm
dwm: /usr/bin/dwm /usr/X11R6/bin/dwm /usr/local/bin/dwm /usr/share/dwm /usr/man/man1/dwm.1.bz2 /usr/share/man/man1/dwm.1.bz2

# including some apparently interactive shells such as scp and rcp
# that can't tolerate any output.  So make sure this doesn't display
# anything or bad things will happen !


# Test for an interactive shell.  There is no need to set anything
# past this point for scp and rcp, and it's important to refrain from
# outputting anything in those cases.
if [[ $- != *i* ]] ; then
   # Shell is non-interactive.  Be done now!
   return
fi

What happens if you Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or F2 to F6), log in as root and enter the command startx?

Oh boi, what a stupid mistake. I did not properly commented an fi out in the .xsession. My bad. Now its working. Thanks!!

An admin might want to remove this thread, as it does not contribute to SL specific problems.
