Problem when logging as a user (permission denied)

Dartelin · 05-02-2004, 05:15 PM

I have istalled the ati drivers for my radeon 9100. Everything went well but when i try to login as a user the KDE restarts. When i try to log in shell as Dartelin (this is my user name) then following error appears:

Code:

bash-2.05b# su Dartelin
Cannot execute
/bin/bash: Permission denied bash-2.05b#

I believe the drivers are the cause but i am not sure in 100%. I run under Slackware 9.1, kernel 2.6.5.

I'm not sure what the ATI drivers touch (I just use
the plain ones from XFree) ...

Have a look at
ls -l /bin/bash ... if the permissions on that are fine,
check out
ldd /bin/bash | cut -d" " -f 3 | xargs ls -lL

If those are fine, do a subsequent ldd on the
libraries displayed by the previous command,
and so forth 'til you've hunted down the culprit :}

Wrong permissions on system libraries are a
bastard to find ;)

Cheers,
Tink

Hello,
Check also the script files that bash runs on login, e.g ~/.bashrc. Check the man
page for more.
Try to rename them temorary just for testing.
