Startup cannot directly login/get into Xfce desktop env.

On doing many uninstallations, the start now cannot directly login/get into Xfce desktop environment as it was, but stuck in password prompt and if fulfilled then in the Bash, what'd be have package gone that's needed to fix it back and perform the direct login getting into   DE ?
Please guide, give clue, thanks

Your account needs to be a member of 'autologin' group and set in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf as value to 'autologin-user'.

Now did
Code: [Select]
# groupadd -r autologin
# usermod -a -G autologin $USER

and edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
under [Seat *]
autologin-user=mardiyah

and after install
Code: [Select]
lightdm-openrc
lightdm-gtk-greeter

it managed to get in display manager greeter, prompting a user to login
but if fulfilled it cannot get into DE, instead it'd get back to greeter

 please help give clue
