NAME

       ukui-session - Start the UKUI Desktop Environment.

SYNOPSIS

       ukui-session [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       The  ukui-session  program  starts up the UKUI desktop environment. This command is typically executed by
       your Login/Display Manager (like GDM, LXDM, XDM, SLiM, or from your X startup scripts like .xinitrc).  It
       will  load either your saved session, or it will provide a default session for the user as defined by the
       system administrator (or the default UKUI installation on your system).

       The default session is defined in the dconf keys under /org/ukui/desktop/session/
       When saving a session, ukui-session saves the  currently  running  applications  in  the  ~/.config/ukui-
       session/saved-session directory of the users /home.

       ukui-session  is  an  X11  session  manager.  It can manage UKUI applications as well as any other X11 SM
       compliant ones.

OPTIONS

   The following options are supported:
       -a, --autostart=DIR
              Start all applications  defined  in  "DIR",  instead  of  starting  the  applications  defined  in
              /org/ukui/desktop/session/default-session
              Multiple --autostart options can be passed.

       -f, --failsafe
              Run in fail-safe mode. User-specified applications will not be started.

       --debug
              Enable debugging code.

       --display=DISPLAY
              X display to use.

       --version
              Output version information and exit.

       -?, -h, --help
              Print standard command line options.

       --help-all
              Print all command line options.

ENVIRONMENT

   ukui-session sets several environment variables for the use of its child processes:
       SESSION_MANAGER

              This variable is used by session-manager aware clients to contact ukui-session.

       DISPLAY

              This  variable  is  set  to  the  X display being used by ukui-session. Note that if the --display
              option is used this might be different from the setting of the  environment  variable  when  ukui-
              session is invoked.

FILES

       ~/.config/autostart
       /usr/share/autostart
       /usr/share/ukui/autostart

              The  applications  defined  in  the  above  directories  will  be  started on login. ukui-session-
              properties(1) can be used to easily configure them.

       ~/.config/ukui-session/saved-session

              This directory contains the list of applications of the saved session.
