[SOLVED] Log off when opening window...

[Arsène Leiris]

Hi everyone,
since last update, when I open Thunderbird, Firefox, LibreOffice or even PCLinuxOS administration tool, my session log off...I can't do anything now...
What should I do ?

Thanks a lot.

You can try run Firefox from a virtual console in a hope you'll see an error output there:
Ctrl-Alt-F1
Log in as user and execute the commands (mind the letter cases)

export DISPLAY=:0.0            <Enter> (this tells the system where to run the application)

firefox                                 <Enter>

Look for error output and post here if any.

I think my problem is due to Xorg update but I will try...

Take it step by step. It could be account related.

Create a new user account and see if the same issues arise with the new user account. If not, then you can discount that the problems are with the apps and the new Xorg. If the problems persist, then the next step.

I can't launch the administration tool... It logs off systematically... Everything worked perfect before the last Xorg update... so... I think it must be it.

Can you open a terminal? If so, su

[root@localhost ~]# adduser -s /bin/bash -u 900 -g <user> -m <user>   [Enter]   // where <user> is the name you want to use.

I created the account but I don't have the password...

If you can open a terminal type
su and press enter
type root password and press enter
type XFdrake and press enter

Now setup your graphics card using the arrow and enter keys
on your key board - and mouse if it is working
