Hello Dick,
The other replies have some good ideas, but lets go back to basics since
you can ssh in. I do not think there is a need to reinstall from
scratch just yet.
When you leave the login manager, X tries to load all the other stuff
and can't, so
On Slackware does run level 3 start sshd? Just making sure so he doesn't
kill a secondary login.
Also are you sure none of the libGL and glx stuff is part of mesa or X? I'm
used to package managers doing the right thing, and if I have to touch a
system .so that usually means a third party

Yes, you should try this. Also look for a .ICEauthority file to delete or
rename.

I need an email app for my phone that doesn't force top posting. Gah!
Anyways. Ok you can login to VT2. Startx doesn't work. Could be the display
manager is locking a resource you need.
startxfce4: X server already running on display :1
Is a clue. Could maybe only need to tell it to use display
Related, here is a tool for doing automated sanity checks on shell scripts:

Just paste your whole script in the box and it will pop up all sorts of
interesting (occasionally helpful) notes.

Being able to login via ssh means the password isn't corrupted. Being able
to type a username probably means the keyboard input
Sometime yesterday (see thread Can't kill process) I lost the ability to
log in to my Slackware machine, ENU-2, from its keyboard. I can log in
via ssh from another machine. I have successfully mounted a USB stick
and copied all the directories in my Downloads directory and copied them
to this

Ben,
Sure. There's little that will lead the reader astray. Regardless, there

Firstly, it's considered "bad form" to share something you haven't

Thanks for sharing, one question though...
Given that TLDR is hosted on Microsoft servers, why should I use it?
Linux is a competing environment. I find it reasonable to question the
validity of any Linux documentation hosted by a competing platform.
In addition, it is written in golang. Again,
Your original question seemed to imply you wanted to maintain the partition

it... But, as others have said, you might not actually have meant to ask
for that...

I think your purpose is probably best served by a file copying solution,
rather than a disk imaging one. I would suggest using cp -a.
