Kicked back to login screen after logging in, Debian 12
As the title states whenever I try to login and start the desktop environment I get kicked back to the login screen with no error message. Beforehand I was messing around with configuring dwm. I've tried updating through the tty and deleting dwmblocks (which is what I was messing with before all this)
Here's the output when running startxfce4:
usr/bin/startxfce4: Starting X server
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) Server is already active for display 0
if this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again.

It would be helpful if you specified which desktop environment and manager...
As I said in the post, dwm was the main issue. I've tried booting into xfce too with to no avail and I'm using lightdm
Have you tried running xfce4 from a tty?
startxfce4The terminal should write what the error is
This is a good tip.
I've had to do this before when I ran in to issues with lightdm. Ctl +Alt F-Key to a tty and try the command for your window manager to make sure that your display manager isn't the culprit.
Or don't, I guess. I'm not trying to boss you around. Good luck and let us know what works for you!
I've tried running it with sudo to fix the authorization error but that didn't work
Here's the output:
Try to kill the xorg process
sudo pkill xAnd then try run xfce4
I get the same error unfortunately
I fixed it by uninstalling the .Xauthority file from the tty and rebooting
It's great that you solved the problem
May I ask how you found the solution?
