seems to be independent of xfce or ubuntu, this is what i get with debian-mate
gnzsnz commentedon Jun 24, 2026
i just tried an updated image, and still has the same problem
org.freedesktop.login1: Permission deniedbut I only have this problem on aarch64. If you anything else to help with debugging let me know

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. This might be due to missing feedback from OP. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
gnzsnz commentedon Jul 29, 2026
please don't close this issue. it's still relevant I can reproduce it with the latest version.
thelamer commentedon Jul 29, 2026
There is no panel on amd64 or aarch64 as this is the default panel configuration https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-webtop/blob/ubuntu-xfce/root/defaults/xfce/xfce4-panel.xml
gnzsnz commentedon Jul 30, 2026
I don't think that we are talking about the same thing. I have showed you the error in the log, and showed the error with both xfce AND mate. And showed that the error is coming from aarch64, while it works on amd64.
So I don't think that the xml settings on xfce will explain the issue. But I might be wrong.
thelamer commentedon Jul 30, 2026
Those errors is just the system dbus socket running as the abc user https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-baseimage-selkies/blob/master/root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/svc-dbus/run, they are basically harmless.
What I am saying is panel 2 is not configured anymore, there is no panel 2. Can you please be specific about what you are seeing working on amd64 but not on aarch64?
gnzsnz commentedon Jul 31, 2026
The issue is changing, on latest versions I'm seeing different problems. I still have problems with xfce-session and xfce-panel, but now i can't even open a session in the browser.
this is working fine on amd64. Screenshot from amd64
This is my compose and log file for aarch64.
thelamer commentedon Jul 31, 2026
I only have an oracle build node to test aarch64 on and wayland/x11 both run fine for me.
Commands used
docker run --rm -it --shm-size=1gb -p 3001:3001 -e PIXELFLUX_WAYLAND=true linuxserver/webtop:ubuntu-xfce bashdocker run --rm -it --shm-size=1gb -p 3001:3001 linuxserver/webtop:ubuntu-xfce bashWhat is your underlying operating system and why are you passing seccomp unconfined ?
gnzsnz commentedon Jul 31, 2026
thanks, removing seccomp fixed many things. now i have a session, but i'm back to my original problem.
bottom panel is not working, see my previous screen shot on arm64 showing the bottom panel. now i don't have the bottom panel and still have the dbus errors
screen shot from aarch64 with no bottom panel
thelamer commentedon Jul 31, 2026
There is no bottom panel in X11 mode I have already explained both of these things and it is like you are choosing not to read my response.
I am closing this issue, this is not a bug report and github is not a support forum. If you have any further questions please hop on our discord or discourse.
