I am back to this same problem, only "logout" appears, and even that does not switch back to console 1 (from where I started with startx). > There is a README in /usr/share/doc/xfce4-session. Its advice works for > me. I used this advice to get my sysvinit setup working last year. I had followed (and checked again now) the steps on both README and README.Debian. Now, with the latest upgrades of sid, I had a non-booting machine; tried init = sysvinit, and it was no longer installed. I was pretty sure I hadn't decided to hard-switch to systemd with the particular package install suggested to do that. Anyway... So I tried init=/bin/sh, which booted, but failed to mount relevant drives, and I for some reason couldn't figure out what to do. Managed to rescue boot and clean up (again) my fstab and got things booting with systemd. I have no display manager. I _want_ NO display manager. I log in at terminal and run "startx; exit" (as a shell function). Yes, XFCE4. I have .xinitrc which I renamed (per the README advice above) to .xsessionrc X session starts. Logout and shutdown dialog only enables logout. Logout appears to sort of logout (stop x display manager), but then freezes on a slightly whacko X background with black windows etc. Never goes back to the virtual linux console from whence I started. Grrr. OK, so CTRL-ALT-F1 (or CTRL-ALT-1 bizarrely seemed to work too). Also, I would like to see Shutdown and Suspend enabled, of course. So I finally get back to linux console, log in again to console, and sudo shutdown. systemd mostly shuts down, but doesn't power off. Grrr #2. Any assistance on these issues appreciated.
