Unable to login with Gnome
I recently installed Mandriva Corporate Server 3.0 and installed ERP5 on it, work perfectly. I'm new to Linux, and urpmi is great!
I worked 3 days with this installation and did a lot of reboot. But today, I wanted to login as usual (root) and I am unable, I keep comming back to the login screen. I see that the the login and password are good, I even changed the root password. 1. Type my login/password 2. Press enter 3. A red screen and a watch for maybe 1 or 2 secs 4. The screen "tick" 5. Back to the login screen... and on and on... Anybody already have seen this problem? |
Hmm... That sounds like an interesting problem. I wonder if there could be something wrong with your video driver configuration, such as the refresh rates being out of specifications for your monitor. Can you login in non-GUI mode?
Also for security purposes I recommend that you don't log in as root because it opens your system up to hackers, due to file and program permissions. |
I don't know how to quit or bypass this login screen?
I even reinstalled Mandriva and I still got the same problem, I'm thinking about a hardware problem! When i installed it back, i took care of the video device, I even tested it and worked well. I just don't know waht to do with this! PS : I'll fallow your advice and log as a user end not a root! Thanks, NB |
Have you tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 when you get to the login screen? If it works it will put you in another terminal most likely a text based one and you could try and modify your X11 settings there.
if you have xorg the configuration file should be here: /etc/X11/xorg.conf there should be a monitor setting with refresh rates. You just might want to check those out. I really have no idea if this is your problem though. You should also try logging in as another user to see if it does the same thing. Hope this helps! |
I tried a lot of different configuration! but dont work!
Then I installed, back icewm [urpmi icewm] and I work know! I just don't know why it sudenly stop working last time! thx NB |
