I have a Login Loop only in XFCE
I know there are many similar posts already, but none solved my issue. I've tried:
- renaming/removing .Xauthority
- removing/re-installing/reconfiguring lightdm
- switching to gdm
I've looked into xsession-errors, but found nothing there. Only after uninstalling lightdm and re-installing gdm3, which finally allowed me to login through a different DE, but when I come back to entering in XFCE (which is my preferred environment) it loops again! I was using Ubuntu Studio 18.04
Please help.

Ha, thought I'd answered a similar question recently (here). Seriously, have you had a look at the answers on that post? There are a lot of possibilities to try out there. Welcome to the site, by the way!
