(solved)Possible bug in Lithium bl-exit dialogue

When I use the TTY log in option with startx in Lithium, the dialog bl-exit box does not come up from neither the menu, or the key combo super+x.

It comes up in terminal though, with seven different options to choose from. The normal bl-exit box called from the menu or the right click menu gives five different options. I guess this is meant to be?

This is not a problem in Helium. Thank you.

Re: (solved)Possible bug in Lithium bl-exit dialogue

Thanks dolly - bug confirmed. Entering 'bl-exit' in gmrun's box also fails.
"Exit" in the menu gives this error message in~/.xsession-errors:

/usr/bin/bl-exit: No exit option passed,
and unable to display exit menu.

That's a start, anyway...

(The terminal options are meant to be different - that's OK. And good to know that the terminal is still available to shut down.)

Few minutes later:
OK the problem is in the test bl-exit uses for whether its on a graphical session or not.
https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-ex … -exit#L142

This command:

loginctl show-session -p Type $XDG_SESSION_ID

returns "Type=tty" even when running an X session, if it's been started from a tty via "startx".

I'll have a look and see if there's a better test...

Re: (solved)Possible bug in Lithium bl-exit dialogue

Replacing on_graphical_session() in bl-exit with this:

on_graphical_session(){
    [[ -n $DISPLAY || -n $WAYLAND_DISPLAY ]] && return 0
    return 1
}

seems to fix the issue. Testing for $DISPLAY might be a bit fragile, but I couldn't find anything better that also worked with sessions launched from startx.
Only web reference I could find that seemed a bit relevant: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1741

Anyway, till something better comes up, let's go with this in bl-exit.
And thanks again dolly, for finding the bug.

Oooops once again! I had completely pushed this out of my mind.  :8

But it works as it should now.
