Gnome/Mate/Cinnamon not starting

Hello there

i just (re....)installed arch and cant start into gnome/mate/cinnamon/kde session. When I type "exec gnome-session" it just logs me out and im greeted with a fresh empty tty asking me for login.
Whats wrong?
It's a fresh install. xfce4 runs fine.

Thanks,
Nic

Re: Gnome/Mate/Cinnamon not starting

You're supposed to put the 'exec gnome-session' in your .xinitrc.

Still doesnt work, if i put it in my xinitrc and login i just get a console
Maybe my user is broken? I just reinstalled the system. I have a seperate partition for /home
but same thing happens when i try it as root
