Run xfce on startup debian

I have installed a new system with xfce4 on debian. My question is how i can make xfce to run on startup? Right now i can only run it with exec ck-launch-session startxfce4.

thanks

Solution

  • From XFCE page on debian

    Run Xfce

    For GDM/KDM choose xfce4-session.

    For startx add in file ~/.xinitrc:

    exec ck-launch-session startxfce4

    For slim boot session in /etc/slim.conf:

    login_cmd exec ck-launch-session /bin/bash -login /etc/X11/Xsession %session

    You also can install xdm to login in start Xfce.
