Can't login as users after adding extra memory and then installing new nvidia

zillur · 10-05-2015, 08:49 PM

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.
