I installed lxdm as my display manager because I heard its very lightweight. Now after installing it when I select my Desktop as Xfce session I am not able to login. Basically what happens is it waits for sometime and than reload the same login page.

On the other hand if I select lxde as my Desktop I am able to login.

So, what am I doing wrong here.

The other problem I am facing with lxdm is it doesn't show my default user account. I have to select more and enter both my username and password to login into any session.

Then I installed xfce 4. Seemed everything would be working okay, and for the most part it does. Except I noticed… >>> More
