Cancel the request. It is an issue with lightdm. I replace
it with lxdm and problems solved.

I am stuck in the "endless loop" problem that is plaguing
lightdm users. I have searched my ass off an everyone
with the issue can not find a cure.

So I disabled lightdm and installed lxdm. It ain't as pretty
BUT IT WORKS!!!!

I even have autologin configured. And it lets me
switch back and forth between Xfce and MATE.

My keeper on lxdm:

lxdm auto login:

# vi /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf

[base]
## uncomment and set autologin username to enable autologin
# autologin=todd
autologin=todd


## default session or desktop used when no systemwide config
# session=/usr/bin/startlxde
session=/usr/bin/startxfce4
