[Bug 1535058] Re: applications close instantly when launched from the launcher or dash

[David Planella]

I'm somehow confused. While the attached branch adds a missing
dependency, it seems from some of the comments this is not actually
fixing the bug.

In my particular case:

- I had manually installed libpam-cgfs
- Modified /etc/pam.d/common-session as suggested [1] (although the branch does not seem to address that?)
- cgmanager does not start automatically

After manually starting cgmanager at some point I got apps running.
However, having tried it again today, apps still close instantly even
after manually starting the cgmanager service.

Are there any particular logs I could send to help debug the issue?

  applications close instantly when launched from the launcher or dash
  but... if i launch the apps from a VT (for ex firefox using Xmir or gedit native --), the app loads ok.

  what close instantly means.. it opens the window and then it closes
  instantly in ~0.3s
