Hi all, something strange has happened. My SUSE 10.0 machine was working well for many moons, but today I had to reboot to try some BIOS setting changes. After restoring the BIOS setting to what it was and booting up the system I was no longer able to log in via the KDM login screen. After typing in the user name and password, the screen blanks for a moment and the login screen reappears. I can log in as root into KDE, though. Also, I tried various GUI environments other than KDE (fvwm, twm , etc.) and the same problem happens. The only environment that I could successfully log in as a normal user is "failsafe". After logging in under failsafe, if I type the "startkde" command then KDE starts fine. If I close the failsafe terminal window then my whole session gets logged out. I don't see anything obviously wrong in the log files. I also tried removing everything in /tmp and /var/tmp to clean up the KDE temporary stuff, but it didn't help. Any suggestions how to fix this? I googled and it seems this problem has affected others too, but none of the suggested fixes works for me. -Ti -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
