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.

    I’ve tried running it with sudo to fix the authorization error but that didn’t work

    Here’s the output:
