Can't login as users after adding extra memory and then installing new nvidia
Hi there,
I am using the following system: Initially I had 64 Gb memory. Then I added extra memory. After added the memories I lost the GUI (maybe there was update issue with yum). Then I downloaded and installed "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.67.run". Now the GUI is working. But I can't login as a user in the desktop using my ID and password. But I can login through ssh using the same username and password. I also can login as root and I can access all of my files. But I don't want to login as root. I am new in the system administrator arena. Would you please to help me.

What should I do now?
|
Are you booting from installation media?
'/run/media/root/831da725-3de4-46de-b6d4-30d15fd92d25' looks 'funny'. Also, can you paste the /etc/fstab file here? Thank you. |
But what should I really do?
|
If you are replying from email notification that this post was replied to,
you need to refresh this page and re-read my last question. Can you paste the /etc/fstab file here? |
Sorry for that. Here is the /etc/fstab file:
GNU nano 2.3.1 File: fstab # # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Fri Jul 24 12:08:27 2015 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info # UUID=a7b150bf-f04a-4af0-917f-b9e8a6a45f35 / xfs defaults 0 0 UUID=d92c7e03-d559-48be-aaef-eb58b1608e6a /boot xfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /home xfs defaults 0 0 UUID=bc6779ef-36cb-41ed-8f5d-21d2e7248b6b swap swap defaults 0 0 |
Thanks.
Don't be sorry. *it happens. :) Not using the system as root is wise and smart and good for your Linux "mojo". Sorry, I don't know what the fix is. But don't worry, someone will be along who does. Don't panic either, I believe it is fix-able. Have a Great Day! |
[never mind, I was wrong]
|
In post 8 with your fstab, it shows to / of the filesystem with its UUID which is completely differnt from what you are using in your earlier output: /run/media/root/831da725-3de4-46de-b6d4-30d15fd92d25. The fstab UUID is: UUID=a7b150bf-f04a-4af0-917f-b9e8a6a45f35 / xfs defaults 0 0
I'm curious as to how you are getting the /run/media/root/UUID. Your output from ls on this directory shows four user which also seems odd as they would usually show under a /home directory. I don't use CentOS so someone who does may have some advice. |
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. After adding extra memory and installing nvidia, in /home directory there is no user.
|
So you mean to say that you added twice extra memory, and after the second time, you're not finding anything under /home or are you just reiterating what you said in the first post?
|
Yeah. After adding the new memories, I couldn't boot. Then Installed nvidia and now in the /home directory there is no user.
|
Are you sure you are booting off the hard drive and not some other media?
|
Thanks. I am not sure about the booting media. It is automatically booting. Do I need to do anything during booting? However it seems user accounts appear in the hard drive.

this right here is one of the problems
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.67.run WHY why install such a old and outdated driver ??? it is from April of 2014 the "352.41" is the current in the LONG TERM driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html now you are using rhel7 ( or cent7 or SL 7 ) the "el7" in the above post you did remove the nouveau driver and rebuild the boot image without the driver ( on going issues with rhel/cent/sl and the .run ) the boot image needs to be REBUILT with out nouveau before you can install the .run blacklisting it is not enough a quick little script i wrote for Scientificlinux when i was testing drivers Code:
then run the NVIDIA.run in a text only boot ( no x11) after it is installed and running REINSTALL MESA!!!! the nvidia .run replaced the system "gl.h"and "glu.h" and libgl with a DIFFERENT one but did NOT!!!!! replace the rest of the gl headers there is NOW A SOURCE MIS-MATCH!!!! in the headers for GL so you need to reinstall the mesa ,mesa-devel and mesaglw and mesaglu libs and devel rpms this mis-match can and DOSE cause problems as to using the install dvd to boot into "rescue" mode that is one of the options type in rescue as per the on screen instructions then after ( as per the instructions) type in " chroot /mnt/sysimage" you will be in "/" of the cent 7 install from there /var/log and read the logs |
Thank you very much for your kind suggestions. As I am new in these systems, I just want a little bit details before starting the procedure.
Step_1: I can run the RBI.sh script Step_2: How can I boot in text only mood Step_3: How can I reinstall mesa? Do I need to do these all in text only mood? Step_4: How can I replace the system "gl.h" and "glu.h" headers Step_5: a little hints on reinstall the mesa ,mesa-devel and mesaglw and mesaglu libs and devel rpms So, these 5 steps is enough..... Sorry for taking your valuable time. Best Regards Zillur |
Hi there,
Thank you very much for helps. I Have tried according to your suggestions. But the problem is still persisting. Maybe I am missing something. I have installed latest version of NVIDIA in CLI. Then updated yum and mesa: yum update, then.. yum install mesa-libGL-devel mesa-GLU-devel then reboot. But still I can't login as user. Here is my files: Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
