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 -- Ti Kan http://www.amb.org/ti Vorsprung durch Technik
