Also check the launching part.
Please provide the error you get as you only use startxfce4. |

This is the typical error caused by not passing a suitable vt option to Xorg (usually with the value of XDG_VTNR set by elogind or systemd) when it runs without privileges. Normal cause being a setup that doesn't use Gentoo's provided xserverrc file.

Thank you for your reply. I still don't quite understand. May I ask what I should do now?
The following is my xserverrc file.
| Code: | cien@gentoo /etc/X11/xinit $ cat xserverrc
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$XDG_VTNR" ]; then
exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -keeptty "$@"
else
exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -keeptty "$@" "vt$XDG_VTNR"
fi

You don't also have a .xserverrc file in your home directory, right? It's OK if you don't.
Post the outputs of:
| Code: | $ echo $XDG_VTNR
$ emerge --pretend --verbose xfce-base/xfce4-session

You don't also have a .xserverrc file in your home directory, right? It's OK if you don't.
Post the outputs of:
| Code: | $ echo $XDG_VTNR
$ emerge --pretend --verbose xfce-base/xfce4-session
$ find /etc/X11 |
|
Thank you, I through my method, enter the xfce.
| Code: | sudo chown cien /dev/tty0
sudo chown cien /dev/tty2
startxfce4 |
Then enter your commands.
| Code: | cien@gentoo ~ $ echo $XDG_VTNR

| Code: | cien@gentoo ~ $ emerge --pretend --verbose xfce-base/xfce4-session
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Where exactly are you typing the startxfce4 and the two chown commands? I suppose it's virtual terminal 1 (/dev/tty1)? If yes, type the echo $XDG_VTNR command before entering Xfce, i. e. while you are still at the virtual terminal, and post the result.

When I log into gentoo, the screen shows tty1.

When I type this command, the output is also empty. |

So there is something unusual in your environment. What is the output of loginctl?

Well, that explains it. There is something wrong with systemd-logind here. We are entering systemd territory, which is unfamiliar for me.
What's the output of:
| Code: | $ systemctl --no-pager
$ systemd-cgls --no-pager |

It's working, apparently, but something isn't right. Do you have error messages about PAM in systemd's journal?
