Can't start mint when I try to login

[shrewd saddle]

This message pops up after I enter my user and password

Restart didn't fix it

[burnt oak]

[shrewd saddle]

Updated stuff before restart

Any fixes?

Can't see cinnamon logo next to user login btw

[burnt oak]

install xfce4 from blackscreen, then set to use that at the login prompt circle icon

[shrewd saddle]

[burnt oak]

sudo apt install xfce4
