Try another desktop, to see if kde is the problem.
All desktops (ICE, MWM, Metcity) give the same denial.
The problem is that a user has done a new 12.1 install and did not create a user at that time. Resulting in no chance of a GUI login. Period.
Character login on a VT or ssh as root works. So I have made a user that he can log in as and then su to root for the remaining system maintenance.
But this is an issue I need to solve so it can be handled 'properly'. I am fairly certain this will be a common problem as more users update to 12.1 (and presumably 12.2.)
I have no problems logging in as root on 12.1 or 12.2 using the KDM login window. It would appear to be a problem with a setting on that machine.
I had the same problem some time ago. It was unsolvable. Due to many reasons i reinstalled, and reformatted, throwing lvm away, using the expert partition set-up. After reinstalling, the problem was gone. In my case i am absolutely sure it was lvm, that was the cause, because no partitioner supported it, not Gparted live, and even Knoppix most recent version, and the KDE-Live 122 could not see/mount the partitions in that lvm set-up. Install was oS122. -- Have a nice day.. Oddball.
