[SOLVED] Unable to start xfce (xinit: Connection refused)

I have installed xfce in a month ago and everything was all right, So when I met this problem, I checked the software repository, but xfce version has not changed.

I also tried lightdm and startx, but it still failed.
No problem occurs when using lightdm to open other desktop environments.
A strange situation ：In cinnamon, xfce terminal and thunar can't run normally

problem sloved! before I install xfce4, the AUR package Repositories has been enabled.
Then it lead to package conflict when pacman -S xfce4.(Installation of the software is not within the group)
Now I install xfce4 successfully. But I don't know why it happen.

the installation of lightdm-gtk-greeter also was abnormal.

The problem I have encountered quite a long time has not been resolved.
Thanks.

Have you tried putting startxfce4 in your xinitrc and using startx?

I think there is no difference between .xinitrc(exec startxfec4) and startxfce4.
But I still have a try , Unfortunately it still failed.
