Hi
I am unable to use XFCE Desktop as a user because a child process exo in /usr/lib/xfce4 is not able to run.
I am able to use XFCE as root.
I could run KDE Desktop alone. No other DE is functional.
I also get DRM cpt error while leaving the session

Never run a GUi as root you can damage ownership of files in your home
Since this appears to be an ownership problem I suggest you check all the config files for the effected GUIs in your home to be sure that none are owned by root
Hi
Thanks.
Could you tell me how to check the permissions.

If you see an error, you should post the error verbatim.
TSU
Failed to launch preferred application for category “TerminalEmulator”.
Failed to execute child process “/usr/lib/xfce4/exo-1/exo-helper-1” (Permission denied).
The above is the error
The situation is There is no panel for XFCE, no application works and I get the same error message
Attempts:
a) Changed Ownership of home folder:

Hi
If I create a new user, the exact error message is as below:
Unable to load a failsafe session
Unable to determine failsafe session name.
Possible causes :
xconfd isn’t running (D-Bus setup Problem);
environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (must include “/etc”; or
xfce4-session is installed incorrectly
Actually before installation of xfdashboard, the XFCE was working well
Now I have uninstalled xfdashboard and reinstalled xfce and still the situation continues
