Stories similar to login problem in Fedora 10

who really knows? 3 years 23 weeks ago

Hi

This question is usually responded to with "Liveuser does not need a password".

Well believe it or not in some configuration it is not possible to go passed the login screen of Fedora 11 or 12 KDE.

If you just hit enter which should work, it goes black with a blue flasy thing and then back to the login screen.

Hi guys,

I have my correct root password, I can login successfully in terminal on "su" with the same password.

But using the same password, when I open up fedora and try to login on login screen with: uid: root password: password

I could not login, why?

I've ran a yum update on my CentOS 5.8 box and now I am unable to log into the console as root. Basically what happens is I receive the login prompt, enter the correct username and password, and am immediately spit back to the login prompt.

I am unable to get past the login screen. It won't accept passwords, the screen momentarily goes black, and then returns to the login screen.

I recently found out that you can use CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch from the login screen to the command line. My password works in that situation and I was able to enter terminal mode.

I typed in "startx" to see what would happen.

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 which was working fine till today.

If I try to login using one of my user accounts it directs me back to the login screen, which is followed by a black screen.

I am sure the password I enter is correct because if the password is wrong it prompts "Invalid Password".

On the other hand I am able to login using a root or guest account.

I recently installed Solaris 10 as a VM. I was using the JDS and shut down the vm when I left the office. When I rebooted today I login in at the desktop login screen and press ok but I am reverted to the console screen for a spilt second and then back to the login screen. I log in as root and my password is correct because I am not met with an incorrect login error.

I have installed 12.04 LTS but surprisingly not able to login as root. I have unlock and set the password for root but while login i can not see 'other' option in GUI login where i can put root id and password.

please help me.

[ubuntu] Cannot Login anymore 1 year 20 weeks ago

Hi,

I have wubi installed. It was working sluggish so I rebooted. Now, in the login screen I get a message:Install problem The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator And it is impossible to login. I can always login in console mode as root (recovery).

Cannot login as root 44 weeks 4 days ago

I need to add my user name to the sudoers list, then I wouldn't expect to need to do this again. Maybe I'm not doing it right. At the login screen my user name appears and an option to click to type in name. Clicking there and typing root into the user field then pressing enter promprs for password.
