As the title states whenever I try to login and start the desktop environment (xfce4 and dwm) I get kicked back to the login screen with no error message. Beforehand I was messing around with configuring dwm. I've tried updating through the tty and deleting dwmblocks (which is what I was messing with before all this)

Here's the Xorg log: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/2936c842/

Here's the output when running startxfce4:

usr/bin/startxfce4: Starting X server

                if this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again.

I fixed it by uninstalling the .Xauthority file from the tty and rebooting
