9.1 using KDE desktop. The problem is a few days ago after shutting down the night before as usual on starting up the next evening the main account returns to the login screen after a second or so. A wrong password is indicated as expected a correct password results in the start of login and then back the the login screen. A Root KDE login works. A second account created while logged as root works. I can log into my main account from a console and also via vnc from my laptop and the /home/... directories all look OK. So what do I look for to solve this problem please.
Deleting all the following directories, if they exist: /tmp/kde-$USER /tmp/gconfd-$USER /tmp/ksocket-$USER /tmp/mcop-$USER /tmp/orbit-$USER /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER where $USER is the login name of the account with the problem.
Also, if there is a /home/$USER/.qt/.qtrc.lock file, delete that too.
Then, try logging in again.
-Ti No change. I will run through those deletions gain after a coffee and try again.Any other recommendations welcome.
I checked again and none of th deleted files had returned i found one other file in the /tmp that was -$USER and removed that as well. I have also searched for .lck and *.lck files the only 2 found being for a particular application and dated over a month before this problem started. I have also searched for *-$USER files the only one being .wine-$USER in the /tmp and again dated a couple of weeks before this problem. So it's back to the list for any further ideas. Any further replies I will trim. Regards Roger
