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): Start-Date: 2023-05-30 22:10:13 Commandline:
