As many of you are aware I have been fighting an issue with gdm, |
2 |
currently I am at the point where I could not login to gdm using my |
3 |
normal user account, but I can login using the root account. I found |
4 |
the same issue in the forums |
5 |
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-358052-highlight-gdm.html. I can |
6 |
create new user accounts that work correctly (I can log in and get to |
7 |
the gnome desktop). However I have deleted my old normal user |
8 |
account, after making a backup, then I recreated the old account |
9 |
using useradd -d /home/george -G |
10 |
users,wheel,gdm,floppy,audio,cdrom,games,cdrw -m george. |
11 |
Now when I attempt to login to that account I am getting cascading |
12 |
errors and when I reach the "desktop" it is a black screen with |
13 |
computer and trash as the only icons and not toolbars. I can right |
14 |
click on the desktop and get the normal menu to get out of that |
15 |
account. I have checked the permissions of both accounts |
16 |
geo@george /home $ ls -l george |
17 |
total 0 |
18 |
drwxr-xr-x 2 george users 48 Jul 25 12:12 Desktop |
19 |
geo@george /home $ |
20 |
|
21 |
geo@george /home $ ls -l geo |
22 |
total 0 |
23 |
drwxr-xr-x 2 geo users 48 Jul 25 11:38 Desktop |
24 |
geo@george /home $ |
25 |
so I know that is not the issue here. |
26 |
|
27 |
My question now is am I missing something here or is my computer on |
28 |
drugs and I need to find work arounds to get the information from my |
29 |
old account backups to this account? |
30 |
Any thoughts or pointers on this will greatly appricietated. |
31 |
Thanks in advance. |
