Help! Can't log in as self
Im running Xfce4 on Debian testing. I recently rebooted the machine, and i didnt intentionally make any changes
to anything that i think would be relevant. On reboot, I was not able to log in as my usual user; i get to the Xfce
"Welcome to [machine name]" screen, and enter my username/password, and it hangs for a sec and returns.
Logging in as root i tried to reset the password of this account, but it had no effect. I created a test user, and this user
WAS able to log in.
I cant find anything useful in the logs. There's nothing in /var/log/messages that seems relevant. In auth.log
i just see three lines, "pam_unix(xdm:session): session opened for user [foo] by [foo](uid=0)", something from
pam_cd_connector, and then "pam_unix(xdm:session): session closed for user [foo]". The only thing is that user
[foo] is uid=1000, not uid=0, but the test user had the same thing, so this can't be it. There's nothing that seems
relevant in xdm.log.
What might this be, and where can I look?
Thanks!
