Can't initialize any user in slackware Current


I'm really stucked with a big new problem on my slackware. I can do anything now, because it just doesn't loggin in any user, not even root and my user. When it prompts to the login, wich is the first thing that happens, don't mind what I put in loggin acount and password that it doesn't log in. With the correct data it just repeats all the login procedure again, with wrong data it displays the message that I'm an incorrect user/password. Just like an infinity loop, it asks again again and so on. Never goes further.

It started after I tried to install multlibs, and then, the system caught and I had to force shutting it down. Now I can't do anything on it anymore. Is there a way to fix that? There's another linux with full acess on the slackware partition in this computer. Could anyone please help-me?

Not knowing what happened or what you really did, the simplest cure is to just reinstall.

A bit of advice: if you decide to keep Slackware (I know you are hesitating from another post), install Slackware 14.1, and stick with it until you feel really comfortable. Then you will be able to go multilib and/or Current.

And SlackDocs can help you to get acquainted with Slackware faster.

Is this occuring with a display manager ? I've had this happen to me with xdm after upgrading to 14.1 and I have never solved it. I looked into it again a few days ago with no avail, the xdm and X logs didn't produce anything interesting in my case. personally i am quite happy just starting x from init 3 although if this is an issue occuring not only for me I'll have another look tomorrow; are you using xdm?
