XFCE4 black screen over everything after restart
Hello.
On a fresh XFCE4 installation in Termux (no PRoot/ChRoot) without configuration yet, when I start XFCE4 session on Termux:X11 with D-Bus (
termux-x11 -xstartup "dbus-launch --exit-with-session xfce4-session") no issues, config can be changed as normal (for Termux). But when I relaunch XFCE4 after a correct logout I get a black screen that hides all windows (I tried to launch a program first then XFCE4 session) except the mouse pointer thats works as expected. Deleting ~/.config/xfce4/ does correct the issue but after each startup this folder is recreated and I get the issue even without changing the configuration. It's very annoying to remove the config each time so I would like to know why it happens and how to solve it (if I can).9 Replies
It may be due to incompatibility between xfwm4 and freedreno.
If Xfce4 restarts and the screen goes black, try running
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 xfwm4 --replace in the terminal to recover.I'm not using Freedreno but Zink over
vulkan-wrapper-android on a Samsung XClipse 920.Solution
Just changed
mesa package to mesa-zink and the issue gone. WTFBut why?
because it's xfce4
It always has drivers problems with us
mainly because of xfwm4
What are the differences between
mesa package and TUR's mesa-zink? They both include Zink.It just seems like old mesa to me.
But it solved the problem, could the version of Zink be the problem?
Actually I tried it and it worked, so maybe that's the case.
I can't say for sure though
