Xfce DE problem about xfce4-appfinder
reddit / freebsd

I have installed FreeBSD 13.1.

The procedures are like these.

1. pkg install xorg xfce xfce4-goodies lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter ko-
ibus-hangul noto-kr noto-basic noto-extra noto-emoji
2. sysrc dbus\_enable=YES
3. sysrc hald\_enable=YES
4. sysrc lightdm\_enable=YES

After reboot. (abbreviate drm(amdgpu, i915... etc), nvidia-driver )

Xfce DE starts well and I can run xfce4-appfinder(from the second
panel icon)

Now, there is problem.

1. First run xfce4-appfinder, No problem, not at all.
2. xfce Logout
3. Login xfce
4. Run xfce4-appfinder. Then, there is no respond.
5. Ctrl + Alt + F2 to console screen
6. service dbus stop
7. service lightdm stop
8. service dbus start
9. service lightdm start
10. login to xfce(lightdm)
11. click xfce4-appfinder  but, no respond too.

same as no lightdm startx (.xinitrc (exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4)).

same as slim logon manager.

What is the problem?  Why xfce4-appfinder has run only in step1.

> sysrc hald_enable=YES

Please, where did you learn that?

If you can let us have the address of the page, it might help to tell
what's wrong.

(HAL was retired more than a year ago.)

service dbus enable

_service hald enable_ # hald deprecated [0]

service lightdm enable

Instead of sysrc versions also works, saves typing and errors.

> service hald enable

Again, no. HAL was retired more than a year ago.

With latest (not quarterly) on FreeBSD 13.1, I get a black scren with
a movable X pointer after starting X. Nothing more than this:
