Disabling or preventing XFCE Sessions
Problem: XFCE keeps saving sessions. Even though I disable sessions XFCE still starts up with a session or even if I clear sessions XFCE still creates new ones.
System details:
Xubuntu 13.10
uname -a Linux Misaka 3.11.0-15-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 30 17:22:01 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I don't know what causes this and I'm sure smarter people have smarter solutions but this one worked for me: At first I thought it would solve its self so Got all my updates and I'm 'settled in' and I find out updates don't resolve the problem so here's how I did it: Delete everything in the .sessions folder then change the read/write permissions.
CLI:
cd ~
ls -al ~/.cache/ | grep sessions
cd ~/.cache/sessions/
rm *
cd ..
chmod 555 sessions/
ls -al ~/.cache/ | grep sessions
Warning, the "rm" command is both incredibly dangerous and a great way to fuck up your computer and it's probably irresponsible of me to even type it here; you may want to avoid using it. Not that I know this from experience, or anything...
Or do it with the GUI:
Perform the normal steps of session clearing:
Go to: Session and Startup
XFCE Applications Menu->Settings Manager->Session and Startup
Click: "Session" tab
Click: "Clear Saved Sessions"
Close out of all that stuff and move on to the next part
Go to: Your Home Directory/Folder
XFCE Applications Menu->Accessories->File Manager
Click: the little house with your login name
Do: Show hidden files
Click View
Click "Show Hidden Files"
or use the Ctrl+H keystroke.
Go to: .cache
Go to: sessions
Do: Delete anything in there, you can leave thumbs, I did,
Go back to .cache
Right click: Sessions
Click Properties
Click Permissions
Do: change the access of Owner, Group, & Others to Read only
Close out of all that stuff and you're done
And so now, whatever it was that was causing sessions to be saved....can't....
