André Werlang:
I’m not familiar with the inner workings of xfce nor do I have an instante readily available to inspect, that said I suspect there’s some misconfiguration, including out of order process dependencies:
“GNOME compatibility is enabled” / “gnome-keyring-daemon: insufficient process capabilities, insecure memory might get used”: they might point to a misconfiguration;
“xfsettingsd-WARNING **: 08:43:18.324: Property “/Gdk/WindowScalingFactor” has an unsupported type “guint”.”: I’d look into that;
It spends 18 seconds spawning xfsettingsd process, until it either gives up or succeeds, I can’t tell from the logs. If it fails, then it is misconfigured X server, if it succeeds, it should be configured to wait X server to get up.
Thank you for the time you have spent with suggestions. I will work on them later, as more problems have come up. I have lost access to my passwords. Fortunately I can boot another distro on the same drive and my data is secure.
Thanks again.
