After updating consolekit2 to 2.0, X exit startup with some very odd messages: scfb trace: orobe start scfb trace: probe start /home/oberman/.xinitrc: setenv: not found /home/oberman/.xinitrc: setenv: not found /home/oberman/.xinitrc: setenv: not found ** (ck-launch-session:7516): WARNING **: 12:23:54.264: Unknown option --exit-with-session xinit: connectiob to X server lost Since I have modeset, I don't understand the scfb probe, but I may just have not noticed. Here is my .xinitrc: xset fp rehash #sudo /bin/rmdir /media/* setenv XDG_CONFIG_HOME $HOME/.config setenv XDG_CACHE_HOME $HOME/.cache setenv XDG_DATA_HOME $HOME/.local/share exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session mate-session Dropping back to the old version (1.2.6_6) of condolekit2 fixes the problem.No errors or unexpected entries in Xorg.0.log. If someone thinks it might be helpful, I can add it to the ticket.
setenv is a csh built-in command. Startup scripts and .xinitrc are usually sourced by /bin/sh. Replace setenv's with export or even better remove them altogether as they are useless.
Tried removing them. Still dies taking X with it and the ck-launch-session error is now the only error.
