Re: user x login fails
Louiso,
It worked!!! Oh well. Almost. In the midst of trying to fix the
problem, on advised of other gurus, I first created new user xxx.
Initially it had the same behaviour, but after your sticky bit change
I login OK and KDE wizard ask me few configuration questions and it
runs beatifully. But when I tried with original user (tad), the login
disapears, debian splash screen stays on, but KDE initialization
screen is not apearing at all and I have to ALT-CTL-F1 to restart.
