I can only seem to log in as root at the moment. If I try adding a user and logging in as that user, I just get a blank screen and have to press ctrl+alt+backspace to get back to GDM. Any idea what the problem is?
My log file shows the following:
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc line 63: /dev/null: Permission denied
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc line 1: /dev/null: Permission denied
/usr/bin/X11/startx: line 151: /dev/null/: Permission denied
Permissions on /dev/null are as follow:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Aug 24 13:57 /dev/null
Sys chownage only works tho if you got a user group called "sys".
If you don't chown it back.
- What's your distro and release?
- What's the last changes you made installing/uninstalling stuff?
- Is this the only device you got probs with?
- Does dmesg/do the system logs show errors, or messages you "normally" don't get on boot?

Libranet 2.8.
It's the only device I have problems with.
Dmseg and system logs don't show anything different to a usual boot.
