I'll be glad to do that, Samuel. Tonight I got a system installed, but again it will not allow me to log in with my user name.
I have to log in as root then su to my user name. But then I cannot start X with my user account. Please tell me exactly what log files and their locations you will need. This will help as I will give you the results and then give you those log files. I guess I could log into pastebin and put the logs up there. This list doesn't accept small log attachments does it? I can certainly understand how difficult it is to do things remotely. I was a field service engineer and my worse situations were in repairs where the company had a technician or engineer and they had done everything they could. That meant the fix was going to be a nightmare. More later! DR On Tue, Mar 7, 2023, 18:19 Samuel Thibault <sthiba...@debian.org> wrote: > Hello, > > D.J.J.
