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. After adding extra memory and installing nvidia, in the /home directory there is no user.I am new in the system administrator arena. Would you please to help me.

Best Regards
Zillur

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

Seems to be a permission thing. Could you output, from root, the command
ls -al from /home
and ls -al /root from /

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

What distro are you using?

Seems you do not have a home directory for your user...
