As I said, it would be better to look at the log of lightdm, at the
/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession script if (as it is for me) used by lightdm
I said:
If your problem is the same, ie:
When I try to login, lightdm can't seem to start my window
manager. After entering my password it just reloads the lightdm
interface.
then, since:
- fvwm spawn: /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession SESSION
- you are not using gnome
you should look at your ~/.xsession-errors file for errors.
In your case SESSION should be mate-session or xfce4-session.
Example with cinnamon:
grep Running /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log
[+1538232.75s] DEBUG: Session pid=3190450: Running command /usr/sbin/slick-greeter
[+1538241.67s] DEBUG: Session pid=3190519: Running command /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession cinnamon-session-cinnamon
/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession stars with:
# redirect errors to a file in user's home directory if we can
if [ -z "$GDMSESSION" ]; then
# GDM redirect output itself in a smarter fashion
errfile="$HOME/.xsession-errors"
if ( umask 077 && cp /dev/null "$errfile" 2> /dev/null ); then
chmod 600 "$errfile"
[ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && /sbin/restorecon $errfile
exec > "$errfile" 2>&1
else
errfile=$(mktemp -q /tmp/xses-$USER.XXXXXX)
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
exec > "$errfile" 2>&1
