First login attemp failed

Hello,

I am using Xfce 4.4.0 (but I had the same problem with version 4.2.3.2). The session manager is xdm (runlevel 4). At computer startup, the first login attempt failed ; i.e. xfce splash screen shows up and after one second or so, I get back the xdm prompt for login and password. I login again and this time it works fine. It does so every time.

I search the web and the forum but could not find any hint. I don't know where to begin to understand this problem. So here I give the local xfce-session.rc, the global (/etc/...) xfce-session, and the .xsession-errors. If any one can help me, tell me where to look... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: First login attemp failed

Does Xfce start when you run 'startxfce4' from tty1?

Re: First login attemp failed

It seems to work. I guess I have to have a look at xdm script and logs.

Thanks for the advice

Still, any idea would be appreciated.

Re: First login attemp failed

I find the solution. Just in case it's useful to anyone else.

.xession-errors indicated :
Agent pid 2526
_IceTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_IceTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
xfce4-session: Unable to establish ICE listeners: Cannot establish any listening sockets
Agent pid 2526 killed

Eventually I found on the web that it was a /tmp/.ICE-unix related errors. Problem of rights.

I added the following lines at the beginning of the rc.4 script :
rm -rf /tmp/.ICE-unix
mkdir -p -m 01777 /tmp/.ICE-unix

Works fine now.
