XFCE started immediately then. But when I reboot and don't wait, the problem does still exist. In another boot process I also went to one text console, logged in as root, then I went back to the graphical login manager, logged in as user, went back to text console and looked at the top output. The cpu was nearly idle. (I couldn't make out one process with an notable cpu load except top itself.) By the way, after going to the text terminal, looking and hearing the disk load one minute later and then going back to graphical screen, there was only the background image. With Alt-F2 I could start xterm, but there was no window decoration and all windows were located at the left-top corner. (I'm not sure weather this is an own bug so I don't report that so far as I usually not log on to text consoles) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When I turn on my system, the login manager is in Gnome design - I don't know weather this is right.

The first thing to know would be which display manager you are using and whether it is specific to gdm or lightdm. Please open YaST, select /etc/sysconfig Editor -> on the left side: Desktop -> Display manager -> DISPLAY_MANAGER and change its value to lightdm if it is still set to gdm. Then reboot and see if you can reproduce the issue. (In reply to comment #2)

I was curious and this time, when booting my computer, I waited on minute before entering password and logging in. XFCE started immediately then.

If that is the case, it means that the problem is not related to starting the Xfce session but rather that something during the boot process takes really long or that the display manager causes this. Note that the display manager is started pretty early while the system is still booting. Assuming you're using the default systemd on 12.2 can you please install systemd-analyze, issue the following command in a terminal: systemd-analyze plot >bootchart.svg and attach the resulting file "bootchart.svg" here?

BTW, I think this problem is related to bug 742767 and voted for that bug.

This is probably https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5379 and unrelated to booting or starting the session. In order to work around it either disable session saving or start "xfwm4" manually via Alt+F2. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Only my logoff problem is reproducible, login isn't a problem any more (even with this strange Gnome/XFCE login/reboot way) The Logoff wait only happens when using the left menu (labled with "openSUSE"), but works perfectly for the right menu (labled with my name). (Screenshots of the menus and confirmation dialogs in logoff_selection.tgz included) For more clearness I wrote a set of scripts that start an strace on every process they can find. These scripts aren't fast enough to capture every process but a good way to see what's going on. As I formerly guessed that when switching to another virtual terminal (tty2, for example), you make the login bug irreproducible, I have invoked the strace generator via startup script, but even with that script, login works good now. The Logoff wait only happens when used kmail before, I think akonadi (used by kmail) is guilty of the hang. (But as I was wrong in some former post, please rethink that by yourself). In the 10_log... file, consult the xStrace_13831__... file which contains the strace of the main akonadi controller. It seems that a akonadi sub-process (akonadi_imap_ressource) quits or gets killed and then (repeatedly?) gets restarted by akonadi. (Interesting lines of log file: 26722, 26735, 26736) akonadi then gives up when recognizing that there isn't any dBus connection any more. (This is only what I think but the log files are so big that I could have missed some important detail.) I attached the gdm log files, too, but I don't believe they are important because they are very old (created one month ago) If you need more information, please let me know. I have no idea and no time to find out what's happening with akonadi, but I can provide requested information. You will get following attachments: * 10_log_1200s_from_boot.tgz: logged in, started kmail and logged off using the left menu (that lasted 60s). Invoked by startup script. History of actions: 16:10:50 started log in, XFCE start time was OK 16:13:15: klicked on log off 16:14:20: log off finished * 11_fast_logoff.tgz with used script inside: logged off using the right menu (that was very fast). Invoked manually. * logoff_selection.tgz: Images of the menus used. * /var/log/gdm is include in the 10_log... file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(id=511113): The kmail strace is deleted for privacy reasons but shouldn't matter for this bug anyway. You can see when it was started/quit in the general.log file. The times I told you are 2 seconds wrong as I read them from my digital clock. Here are the right times (fitting to the strace outputs): 16:10:48 started log in, XFCE start time was OK 16:13:13: klicked on log off about 16:14:18: log off finished -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
