<div dir="ltr">Yeah probabbly something wrong with your lightdm config or Xsession . Considering everything in Xsession is considered part of the session so whenever something crashes the session crashes, I would guess it is a problem of 1 of the scripts it sources or the script itself. Lightdm keeps session logs in /var/log/lightdm/x-*.log so you should get some info on what goes wrong.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">На пт, 1.11.2024 г. в 10:08 ToddAndMargo <<a href="mailto:ToddAndMargo@zoho.com">ToddAndMargo@zoho.com</a>> написа:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On 10/23/24 01:36, ToddAndMargo wrote:<br>

Cancel the request. It is an issue with lightdm. I replace<br>
it with lxdm and problems solved.<br>
<br>
I am stuck in the "endless loop" problem that is plaguing<br>
lightdm users. I have searched my ass off an everyone<br>
with the issue can not find a cure.<br>
<br>
So I disabled lightdm and installed lxdm. It ain't as pretty<br>
BUT IT WORKS!!!!<br>
<br>
I even have autologin configured. And it lets me<br>
switch back and forth between Xfce and MATE.<br>
<br>
My keeper on lxdm:<br>
<br>
lxdm auto login:<br>
<br>
# vi /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf<br>
<br>
[base]<br>
## uncomment and set autologin username to enable autologin<br>
# autologin=todd<br>
autologin=todd<br>
<br>
<br>
## default session or desktop used when no systemwide config<br>
# session=/usr/bin/startlxde<br>
session=/usr/bin/startxfce4<br>
<br>
<br>
