Slim won't let me log in,

[TAL15]

I recently installed XFCE with Slim, but when I try to log in as any user, it just refreshes. Also, I can only log in as super user. When I try to log in VIA a normal user it says failed to execute login command

Hi TAL15 ,

this thread should be moved to Desktop Usage -> X.org.

Anyway, please post the content of the user's .xsession.

How do I get that?

Also, I can't access user files, when I attempt to log in as root it starts processing. But then it goes back to asking me my username and password

Sounds like you're missing .xinitrc.

CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to vt0 shell login.
Create .xinitrc:

(or: cp /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc .xinitrc)
CTRL-ALT-F9 to get back to X.

I just did a reinstall of my entire GUI. It's all good now
