Do you have an ~/.xinitrc file which correspond with /etc/slim.conf? In your case you need to make sure "startxfce4" is the command SLiM with look for in .xinitrc. You have a "session" entry in slim.conf.

I have just installed #! 20111125 i386 and have had a problem logging in using the slim display manager; nothing appears to happen; I just get sent back to the login screen with no message.Examining /var/log/slim.log I see... snip ...
FATAL: Module fbcon no found.

Hi,
I am a new fedora user,
I want to disable slim through systemd and use startx.
Code:
systemctl disable slim.service
it tells me Failed to issue method call:no such file or directory,
I can uninstall slim but when fedora starts,it gives me blank screen,I have to use ctrl+alt+F3 to go to tty and login.
I was wanting to see what would happen if I removed GDM and replaced it with SLiM. So I installed Crunchbang in a virtual machine and it does not work right. When I get to the log in screen I enter my user name/password and then SLiM disappears and shows the command line and then reappears asking for my user name/password again.
I followed this thread to try and launch DWM via Slim;http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … on-solved/Here is my /etc/slim.conf;login_cmd exec /bin/sh - ~/.xinitrc %session
sessions openbox,dwmand here is my ~/.xinitrc;DEFAULT_SESSION=openbox
case $1 in
openbox)
exec openbox-session
;;
dwm)
nitrogen --restore &
exec dwm
;;
*)
exec $DEFAULT
If Slim loads and you can login as root, I hardly think the graphics driver is the problem. Like someone mentioned earlier, I would check the permissions of your the .xinitrc file on your $HOME folder.

Just as a disclaimer, I'm brand-new to Arch linux. I installed Arch this morning after using linux mint for some time. Anyways, I wish to use SLiM as my login manager, but whenever I try to log in (whether it be root or my typical user) it says "failed to execute login command", then flashes a black screen and takes me back to an empty "Login:" box. I use
I wanted to configure my evilwm using 2ManyDogs`s review :http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/198480/#p198480I created a .desktop file-in /usr/share/xsessions- for evilwm and pointed it to execute my autostart script,but I have not installed GDM,I use SLiM as login manager which seems it doesn`t work with the guide above,it seems that SLiM doesn`t look for session files in -/usr/share/xsessions
Since Ubuntu 9.10, installing new login screen themes or changing the login window appearances is not as easy as before.
