Good day!
After a recent update (see below) starting 'osd_clock' in ~/.xsessionrc
does not work properly anymore. Osd_clock is an on-screen clock which
is projected to the root window and through all program windows (on top).
My setup:
I have 'osd_clock' started in ~/.xsessionrc like this:
exec osd_clock -r -o 10 -s 0 -F '%A, %d.%m.%Y :: %R Uhr ·%S·' &
On my system (devuan beowulf) ~/.xsessionrc is sourced by
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/40x11-common_xsessionrc which is sourced by
/etc/X11/Xsession which is sourced by
/etc/trinity/tdm/Xsession.
This used to work for years.
Problem behaviour:
--- When I now log in into TDM, osd_clock briefly appears and then vanishes
just before TDM starts the X-session.
--- After that osd_clock is a running process, but does not show up in
the display.
$ ps aux | grep osd_clock
stekru 3788 0.0 0.0 96124 4000 ? Sl 09:45 0:00 osd_clock -r -o 10 -s 0
-F %A, %d.%m.
%Y :: %R Uhr ·%S·
--- Apparently osd_clock is running with no terminal (the "?"). A manually
started osd_clock is running fine and shows up like this (second line):
$ ps aux | grep osd_clock
stekru 3788 0.0 0.0 96124 4000 ? Sl 09:45 0:00 osd_clock -r -o 10 -s 0
-F %A, %d.%m.
%Y :: %R Uhr ·%S·
stekru 7871 0.0 0.0 96128 4036 pts/3 Sl 10:52 0:00 osd_clock -r -o 10 -s 0
-F %A, %d.%m.
%Y :: %R Uhr ·%S·
--- Meanwhile I found a workaround: start osd_clock with option "-w 5" to wait
five seconds before showing up.
Why does osd_clock not "find" the terminal (pts/3) anymore? I have no idea how
to debug this further. Any help is appreciated.
--- Before this symptom appeared I had upgraded some TDE packages (from
/var/log/apt/history.log, redacted for readability):
