What is lxsession?

Question

I've been runing on my issue all night long tried many method to update an entry of User model and I didn't figure it out.

I tried with saveField, updateAll and findBy then save but all i've got is new entry on my DB or no update.

Here is the code, Hope you'll help

    <?php
    public function email_verification($token) {
    $this->User->create();
    $user = $this->User->findByEmailToken($token);
    $this->User->set(array('email_token' => 'valid'), $user);
    $this->User->save($user, false);
}
    ?>

Thanks in advance

Solution

As you have already quoted,

LXSession is the standard session manager used by LXDE. LXSession automatically starts a set of applications and sets up a working desktop environment

This is it. The lxsession is the session starter and manager for standard LXDE desktop. But Lubuntu uses a customized version of LXDE session which is started by startlubuntu program.

The manual page saying this

A session manager is used to automatically start a set of applications and set up a working desktop environment. Moreover, when the user logout, it remembers the applications in use, and restart them the next time you login.

So, it is clear that lxsession can save session state.

so, no more than that: i mean the "management" aspect is limited to settings that can be made in Desktop Sessions Settings, without handling different sessions to save, etc, like in Xubuntu/Xfce and I guess in Ubuntu/Unity. could i use a different session manager? would you consider answering the related question linked above?
