I reinstalled debian-arm buster, from scratch. Although I thought I had
selected xfce4 for the gui, it did not install it. I also did not set a
root pw because I'm now housebroken to use sudo. So on the reboot I was
looking at bash login, which I did, tried startx, not found. So I
sudo apt install xfce4. Rebooted, had x ok. then I
sudo apt install synaptic build-essential, and somehere in those two
install sessions it pull in openoffice, all of it. rebooted.
It came back to naming me on the login screen, and my password worked.
rebooted anyway, but on the reboot, my user pw was rejected. WTH? So I
came into the house to fix us some din-din, and tried an ssh -Y picnc.
it worked. I tried to change the pw without changing it by using the
same for a new one, so that was rejected without an update.
Now, someone tell me why I can login via ssh as me, but can't login on
its own screen and kybd, as me.
I am in it from here, so if I knew what to do I can probably fix it
while logged in via ssh.
Thanks everybody who has a clue.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
