[SOLVED] LXDE Log-in issues
Posted: 19 May 2011, 21:02
Greetings,
This is the LEAST of my issues at the moment but, for those who care to know about a user's experience: LXDE seems to have a unique issue that the KDE Desktop log-in doesn't. I've had this issue happen on two occasions (so far) that seemingly happen after playing around with modules. This is on a WYSE Thin Client V90L (800Mhz 512Mb RAM / 512Mb Flash HDD).
Issue:
32-bit V1.0 RC1:
Boot into LXDE Mode via GRUB or LILO (not sure of the default boot loader) and get to the GUI log-in screen. Typing in correctly the User and Password will make the screen go blueish-gray then white then take you back to the GUI log-in screen. You can type the correct credentials several times with out being able to pass the log-in screen.
Just as a test, I type in the wrong credentials, and there is no flash on the screen what so ever... the prompt goes back to user name seemliness. If I use the KDE log-in option at the GRUB/LILO prompt, there is no issue logging in.
---
On the first occasion this happened to me, I was installing Slax modules off the Slax site and just executing them naively by double clicking them. At the time, GParted modules was what I was playing with. After learning that wasn't the best way to operate modules, I reformatted the drive and started over. The second occasion I was a lot more careful about what I used. I placed converted (community recommended) modules into /porteus/modules/ without executing them at all. I also made sure that I did only one module at a time, as I tested their functionality. After discovering that LXDE was doing the exact same log-in issue as the first occasion, I removed all modules from /porteus/modules/, rebooted in to LXDE mode, and found that LXDE was still with a log-in issue.
I'd be happy to test any suggestions.
