Yes sir. I've tried logging in multiple times. I did it just now to be sure. I tried logging in 3 times for each of the desktops I have installed: Gnome on X, Gnome (which I assume is on wayland), and on xfce. I could not log in. But when I tried logging in as root, it worked just fine. :) Just to reiterate, I can login to a virtual console.
If I could get Emacs' erc to work on a virtual console, I'd complain a little less perhaps. P.S. Herein follows a slightly related rant, in which I think out loud. I've heard about Guix developers logging into a virtual console and working from that, which sounds totally B.A. The reason that doesn't work for me at the moment, is that I've told erc to store my irc passwords in .authinfo.gpg. AND emacs from a virtual console does not properly decrypt the file, so I can't use erc on emacs in a virtual console. The error I get says pinentry not installed, but I know I have installed it before. I did just reconfigure, so maybe I should have to install it again. I suppose that I could write some elisp, to check if the current system is guix. If yes, then don't use .authinfo.gpg. Then I would have to figure out how to mail via emacs, which I've done before. That way I could contribute to guix whilst inside guix. Joshua
