Cannot start X session as any new user
Hello,
I have recently discovered that I can't start an X session as any user other than myself or root. After creating a new user account for the umpteenth time, and trying to login, be it using gnome or KDE, I only get this error message: Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix the problem. View details (~/.xsession-errors file): Code:
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, -Fibo |

I had the same problem and solved it by changing the default shell for the new user to /bin/bash. Sorry, I don't remember exactly how I did that.
