Strange login failure with gdm and xfce4

tombenko · 2018-09-07 20:07:27

I switched from xfce4 to gnome a year before. Removed xfce (well... mostly). Now I installed again xfce. When I try to run, it stops after a short blank screen. No errors, no logs, only some warning in the journal from xkbcomp, saying wrong character. Anyone else can start xfce without any problem. Everyone can start any other session. I removed all xfce-related directories from .config, .cache and .local, but the problem still in the house. Now, after days of tries, I'm out of ideas. There is no way to start from console, others use the machine too, with very little knowledge. What should I try yet?

This isn't helpful. Post the logs/journal: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

@tombenko, is this similiar?:

Two days ago i made an system update. Don't recall what packages where updated. But now, when i login and start X, it gets failed ("Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-xxx: Connection refused") and after i close the window it gets a blank screen with the cursor... Similar to what this thread discuss: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=216001. I need to re-login to enter X without issues.. I don't use testing repo.
I use xfce, Automatic login into Xorg without display manager (xlogin to enter X).

Could anyone help, i don't now what the origin of the problem!
