Can't login on AVL-MXE

-iak- · 2022-10-05 21:23:13

Hello everybody,
After an update I am not able to login on my AVL system anymore. AVL comes with an hybrid of xfce and openbox and it uses slim for the login. I installed lightdm and a webkit2-greeter-theme, togheter with the packages I needed to toggle the desktop icons (AVL has a feature that only toggles the wallpaper, for the desktop icons one must use the file manager).

Everything looks to work fine, I can type my password, just the enter key is doing nothing. Lately I can't even open a tty (with ctrl+alt+f*) because it freezes, but if I press ctrl+alt+f7, I am always able to type the password again.

Any idea to recover the system?

I managed to load the session via tty. Posting some outputs that I hope might be helpful, since I don't know where and what to look for.

Looks like the webkit greeter theme is crashing. Can you try another greeter like lightdm-gtk-greeter to see if it works?

-iak- · 2022-10-06 08:14:43

Hello ToZ, actually with the standard greeter I am able to login

ToZ · 2022-10-06 10:22:57

Then it must be a bug with webgreeter. You could open a bug report against the package.

How do I do that?

ToZ · 2022-10-07 09:54:44

Hmmm. Looks like its been archived and is no longer being developed.

ToZ · 2022-10-08 16:55:25

Not sure if you've seen the reports about a regression in webkit (e.g. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/75988), but it looks like this is what you are experiencing.

Jerry3904 · 2022-10-09 09:45:35

Thanks for the sleuthing, ToZ, but you should feel free in the future to suggest that someone using an unofficial respin of MX Linux turn to the individual who created it--especially when the problem being reported occurs before Xfce is even loaded.

You guys already have a heavy enough load...
