Thread: Can only start xfce using Guest account

-

hi, i'm having issue starting xfce using user account.

after putting in user id , password splash screen, blank screen 'wait' cursor, , goes login prompt. i've tried both xfce session , xubuntu session , both this. able login after did upgrade using user account after ssh'd in @ work today got home , happened. think have me messing around xrdp on ssh today. deleted startwm.sh out of xrdp directory because getting failed load gnome message when trying remote desktop strange because don't have gnome installed. when deleted startwm.sh , used mstsc (remote desktop) login desktop dropped me prompt. typed startxfce4 startup desktop prompt. worked , able use gui think borked settings somehow? restored startwm.sh backup issue still happens.

however, on machine locally when choose guest account login goes xfce fine without issues. whenever try user account xfce won't load. ideas? must on user account messed things up. can't find in /var/log,etc..

did check see if permissions/ownership of ~/.xauthority and/or ~/.iceauthority files got screwed up?
