Good evening,
I just installed xfce which works fine, but when I added XDM and restarted it booted into XDM fine but I never created an user accounts before, was just using root so I do not have login to use and root does not work, any suggestions?

Sure,
Crtl-Alt-F1 to get to the console, log in as root, and create a user with:
useradd -m -s /bin/bash <your_user>
passwd <your_user>
gpasswd -a <your_user> whatever groups you want your user to be in (one by one)

Thank you for the reply, I added a user and when I login, I do not get an error just returned straight to the login page

Hi.
I had the same problem only difference was that i used slim instead. but it appears to be a bug in pacman permissions. It worked after this
chmod 777 /tmp && chmod a+x /tmp
" I didnt solve this myself, i got help from this post
