Kicked back to login screen after logging in, Debian 12

posted 1 year ago

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
