[SOLVED]login problems - New install with old /home/usr

Hi,

today I reinstalled arch and kept my old home/usr, on my old install I started Xfce with

#
# ~/.bash_profile
#
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
#could use xinit instead of startx
#exec xinit -- /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp vt7
fi

When I want to login now, I'm getting some error messages I can't read because it's going to fast.

How can I read/ find the logs that I'm able to find what's wrong?

TIA

Desktop environment stuff should go into .xinitrc.
With following in my .bash_profile X output is redirected to .xlog.

[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR == 1 ]] && startx &> ~/.xlog -- vt$XDG_VTNR
