Issues Starting Xfce with Compositor Enabled

jolupa · 2019-11-07 15:41:29

Seeing this I drop some days ago a question into the mailing list regarding that I can't launch Xfce from tty with startx.
It only happens with xfwm if I use Compton or disable compositor in the settings I can launch perfectly.
I made some researchs on Google and at the forums but can't find something that solve the problem, if anyone can help!
Thanks!

I've created a separate thread for this issue. Original posted at: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=13233

Can you provide some more information about your setup?
- Which distro are you using?
- Which Xfce version and more importantly, xfwm4 version?
- Contents of ~/.xinitrc (since you are using startx to start the session)
- Which video card and driver are you using?
- Log files from an unsuccessful login attempt (depending on the distro, potentially ~/.xsession-errors or "journalctl --user --no-pager")
- Did you try any of the suggested tweaks from the post above? If so, did any work?
- If you install a display manager (e.g. lightdm), are you then able to log in successfully with the compositor enabled?

My distro is Crux.
This is the .xsession-errors file content:

exec ck-launch-session startxfce4

I use the i915 intel driver drm (I think is called that way) with no problems running Openbox or Xfce with compton.

I didn't try the solutions from the other post I will do in a moment and update this comment to reflect any change.

Thanks.

EDIT: The solutions are not working.

This is/was a known bug in mesa. Apparently it was fixed mesa 19.2.1, What version of mesa do you have?

jolupa · 2019-11-08 15:40:45

Hi! thanks for the reply.
I'm using the last mesa3d (19.2.3)

ToZ · 2019-11-08 20:44:07

According to this, it hasn't been fixed yet. It appears to involve the intel driver. Are you using the intel driver? If so, have you tried the modesetting driver?

jolupa · 2019-11-10 18:49:31

Hi, sorry for the late reply... Yeah tested modesetting and the problem is the same... hmm
Don't know where to look for more.

ToZ · 2019-11-10 21:05:15

I'm not sure what to suggest. This seems to be where they are discussing the issue. There is a proposed patch there.

Edit: Also, from https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15765:

This is a Mesa (DRI) bug in the intel driver.
This occurs because your distribution builds Mesa with assert() enabled.
As a workaround, please take it to your distributions and tell them to build Mesa with “-Db_ndebug=true”.
Either way, not a bug in xfwm4.

Perhaps report it to the Crux developers so they can fix it in their build of the mesa package?

Ops! That made the trick! Thanks...
I shoot a mail to the mesa maintainet in Crux to see if he can add that line to the package build!
Thanks a lot!
