My pi: Rasberry Pi 4B running bookworm
So this afternoon I tried connecting to my raspberry pi using TigerVNC and as usual got prompted for my username and passcode. After I entered them I was connected to the pi like usual but I was on the sign in page (where you enter your username and passcode after logging out) when I enter my username and passcode it switches to a grey screen waits for a few seconds then sends me back to the sign in page. When I enter a wrong password this doesn't happen and it says wrong passcode. This randomly happened and I have no idea what caused it, I had used my pi around 8 hours earlier and everything was fine.
I have already tried some recommendations on other forum posts on how to troubleshoot this however none of them have worked. Another thing that I noticed was that you can do CTRL+ALT+F1 (or any F number other then 7) however this was not working for me (might of also been a lack of Linux knowledge and I was doing something wrong). I currently have access to the pi through ssh and I was able to login, view my files, make changes ect. (also a web site thing on my local network hosted by my pi was working)but I still couldn't view any gui.
Please excuse me if I ask to many questions about how to do anything as I am still quite new to Raspberry pi's (or any Linux based operating system)
Thanks![:D]( "Very Happy")
