Problem with gnome/login

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi I recently installed Fedora 12 on my laptop, and it worked nicely until i ran some updates from yumex. After updating i got an error-message on login, saying that some gnome module wasn't loaded properly (multiappletloader or something like that). After googleing for help to solve this, i didn't find much, but someone recommended reinstalling gnome-applets. I entered yumex, and found gnome-applets, and applied it. It did not go to remove mode, instead it installed (so i figure i didn't have it in the first place). But, when i restarted my computer, the login screen doesn't show up! All i get is the load screen, followed by the fedora 'f', and there it stays. How can i get past this? -Tobb P.S. I also get an error message on boot, saying at least "page table error" (it only flashes for <1 sec. I had this error message before the login problem occured though. ***UPDATE*** I have manged to log into fedora using command line mode, and from there starting the gui with startx. But on reboot, the login window still does not pop up. ***Resolved*** Somehow GDM stopped working (and at least two other programs (gimp & amsn) was deleted without any approval from my side..) Updating GDM made it work again.. (HowTos)

Can't Login using KDE 3 years 32 weeks ago

I am having an issue logging into Fedora 11 using KDE. Everything is up to date. When I login, it give me the startup screen with the little squiggly thing that gets longer. Then the screen flashes and instead of taking me to the desktop, it kicks me back out into the login screen. This happened after I installed KDE before the last update.

[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).

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.

Hello,

First off, I didn't know how to title this problem.

sudo apt-get remove --purge unity*

I found that I get an startup error, but when I proceed, I got this awesome login screen:

It has an sexy effect and is just the gnome style my whole pc has got.

So can any one please tell me how I change the default login screen program without having to bother clicking "fix this

[ubuntu] Cannot log in 1 year 12 weeks ago

Hello!

I've run into a bit of a problem with my Ubuntu system recently. I was installing MATLAB on my Ubuntu partition (I dual boot Windows XP/Ubuntu on an old laptop) and upon rebooting I was not able to log in to my Ubuntu system. The login screen appears and I can enter my password, but upon doing so the screen flashes black, takes a few seconds, and reloads the initial login page.

I tried gnome-shell but didn't quite like it. After removing gnome-shell, I still have them in login menu. However, upon logging in with any gnome option, I get to the usual Unity desktop.

I had purged gnome-shell using apt-get, but seems like some component is still remaining.

How do I remove gnome login options from lightdm login screen?

Suspend problem 10 weeks 1 day ago

I have Statler installed.I suspend my laptop and when I try to resume and turn up my computer the screen flickers twice and I'm asked to login (not in a login manager, just plain login) so I have to login and execute sudo slim to get back and login into awesome or openbox. So it's like I was logged out.
