[Solved]SLiM Failure.

Yesterday I left my computer at the slim screen all night because I typed reboot instead of shutdown (I don't know if this part matters).
But this morning, when I tried to login, it said "failed to execute login command". So I rebooted and tried again, still the same error. So I went to virtual console one and typed "xinit" as my user. It said it was already running in virtual console 0.
And now I'm stuck.

Hello Cryticfarm!

Can you show your ~/.xinitrc file ?

Sometimes slim.log eats free space at the partition.

Yeah, and a lock file of slim can cause this situation too.

My .xinitrc is:

exec nitrogen --restore &
exec pypanel  &
(sleep 6 && exec devilspie) &
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox-session

And djszapi, what does the lock file thingy mean :\.

Is this when you "startx"? Or "xinit" it doesn't really matter. I think I got this and I had to "sudo startx" first, then Ctrl+Alt+F1 out, Ctrl+C and then "startx" normally.

Well I just realized I was REALLY slim on space in my home partition, and I am fixing that now whether it fixes it or not.
EDIT:
Problem was fixed after I upped home partition size.
