Xfce session start command line

Post by Lugaxx »

I have installed a X2go server on my Linux Mint Xfce notebook. X2go officially doesn't support Xfce. So I have to specify a command line which starts the Xfce session on the X2go server. I've already tried /usr/bin/xfce4-session. But this command seems to starts only some kind of default Xfce session. It for example doesn't start the nice Linux Mint panel which includes a Whisker Menu. So could someone tell me the correct command line, please.

startx
startxfce4

The first one works on some distros, the second is just a guess.

from "man startxfce4" -

Code: Select all

startxfce4 - initialize an Xfce session
SYNOPSIS   startxfce4

DESCRIPTION
       startxfce4  is  a  script  responsible for starting an Xfce session. It
       runs xinit passing the file specified in the  FILES  subsection  as  an
       argument.

       You  may  want to modify the default xinitrc file. In order to do that,
       copy /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc to ~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc and modify  that
       file.
FILES
       ~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc
              User configuration file
       /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
              System wide configuration file
Not sure how those xinitrc files interact with your ~/.xinitrc file.
