I did a

As a result I am unable to run startxfce4 as a normal user but as root I am able to.
startx command works for both.

I get xfce4 as a root only and not as a user.

Any suggestions please.
 
Ok here is the solution what I did.

Code: 
pkg_info -x xorg
pkg_info -x xf86
pkg_delete -xi xorg xf86
pkg_delete -xi xfce4 xfce-4.10

This was followed by the

Code: 
pkg_add -v -r xorg xfce4

The /etc/rc.conf had the required entries for hald and dbus. I am able to use the desktop as a normal user now.

My last query is why did the xserver crashed after an update?

Could it be due to the reason that I had installed multimedia/win32-codecs in which I included ffmpeg?

Please suggest something?
 
It happened again.

I updated and the xserver along with xfce4 crashed showing me an error that said
Code: 
unable to locate libpcre.so.1

Hence I had to rebuild xorg xfce4 pcre to realise that avahi-app gvfs and thunar were not compiling. A deinstall and make install of these three followed by rebuild of pcre helped.

This time i am able to
startxfce4

as a root user but not as a normal user. Can someone please tell me what to do?
 
Prebuilt packages are always a fight. Either use packages that were built at the same time, or build from ports. Install sysutils/bsdadminscripts and use pkg_libchk from it to find out which installed applications are missing libraries.
