I made a CloneZilla backup and tried a clean install with the latest archinstall (2.5.0) including xfce4, I still have the same problem so maybe it's a bug in archinstall?
On Manjaro and Xubuntu I didn't have this problem, switching is not an option though... I love vanilla Arch.
[denisuu@BLOOGLET .cache]$ ls -lh ~/.cache/sessions
-rw-r--r-- 1 denisuu denisuu 0 Jun 21 21:25 /home/denisuu/.cache/sessions
Edit: I restored the CloneZilla, deleted ~/.cache and it's working now!
Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it! ♥

the session process (xfce4-session) crashes on those attempts
There's a decade old FreeBSD bug w/ that pattern, https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_ … &id=170825
Regardless of the fact that xfce should™ be more robust here, did you do anything wrt https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xfce#Session ?
Do you have rw permissions on ~/.cache/sessions and ~/.cache/sessions/* ?
I was on a vacation so didn't have time to look at it.
Here's the content of the last minute in the system journal, I can't really figure out what's happening.: https://pastebin.com/raw/EQXwQZ27
loginctl session-status
Even 'Settings > Power management > Display > Blank screen after X minutes' logs me out. I have it set to 1 minute on battery and every time I have to log in again.
Are you genuinly locked out or is this just a screen locker (do open windows close/running processes terminate when you're "logged out" this way)?
Yes, I'm actually fully logged out. When I log back in it's like I booted from a complete powered off state.
loginctl session-status output
You must select an action for all four items.
It does not matter what I select there, result is always a log out.

Pasting pictures and code
I have some weird log out behavior on my machine.
When I have both the settings below enabled and I press the power-button I get a prompted, but whatever I select: 'restart, shutdown or suspend' I only get logged out.
When I disable 'Prompt on logout' I immediately get logged out whatever I select under 'Settings > When Power button is pressed ' When I go through Whisker menu I get the same behavior.
Settings > Session & Startup > General > Prompt on logout = Enabled
Settings > Power Management > General > When Power button is pressed = Ask
Even 'Settings > Power management > Display > Blank screen after X minutes' logs me out. I have it set to 1 minute on battery and every time I have to log in again.
Settings > Power management > System > Security > Lock screen when computer is going to sleep = Disabled.
I'm not sure what logs I should provide to troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance!
