Failed to execute login command

Hi,

I try the new build slitaz rolling core 20140907, i install it, no problem.

But when i reboot the system, i have this message when i try to open my default session:

username: tux

password: tux

"Failed to execute login command"

WHY ?

Any idea please ?

Check file permissions by terminal command:

ls -l /home/tux/.xinitrc

Re: Failed to execute login command

In the 20140824 version, there was a similar bug.

I got "Failed to execute login command" when I tried to login as root.

I solved this issue with:

---start---

su

{Type root password; usually "root"}

cp -avr "/home/tux/.config" "/root/.config"

---end---

It seems that the distro generates the .config folder just for the tux user, not for root or other users as it should.

I hope you'll fix this bug.

Re: Failed to execute login command

Slim login to root account is broken on the live cd so it is broken on an install.

Live cd log out X session user tux, at slim login screen login as user root fails because there is no /root/.config/slitaz/applications.conf

To manually fix type [c]exit[/c] at slim login to drop to shell.

Login root passwd: root

[c]mkdir -p .config/slitaz && cp /etc/slitaz/applications.config .config/slitaz[/c]

Restart slim:

[c]slim[/c]

Login as root now works.

The creation of ~/.config/slitaz/applications.conf is done by /usr/bin/tazx which is owned by slitaz-tools.

http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-tools/file/20a0a8c12eb4/tinyutils/tazx#l204

Not sure what changes broke [c]cp /etc/skel/.config/slitaz/applications.conf /root[/c]

Maybe it's not in /etc/skel when /root is created?

I have made numerous full installs with tazinst and user tux login works.

Thanks Lessons for your answer. I'm soory but i don't understand your issue:

I have to write this line in a terminal like sakura ?

I have to write this line with or without the "" ?

Many thanks.

Re: Failed to execute login command

Yes. I used sakura.

{Type root password; usually "root"} means type "root" without ""

su

root

cp -avr "/home/tux/.config" "/root/.config"

So mojo, what do you mean SLIM login ???

mojo: "I have made numerous full installs with tazinst and user tux login works."

In the last version of rolling-core the root login did not work, even if tux login works!

This is because the Desktop-files are not copied in /root.

BTW, wouldn't it be better to change the home location for the root user from /root to /home/root, to be like /home/tux ??

Re: Failed to execute login command

This issue caused by adding post-install to provide drives mount 2 weeks ago, and was fixed yesterday, now is already on main mirror.

So, just updating of this package required: slitaz-configs-base

tazpkg recharge && tazpkg -gi slitaz-configs-base --forced

(Fix is temporary, until configs-HG new tag after editing.)

>/home/root

Hope, this will never happens
