Hi All
On tty1 I enter a
/etc/init.d/kdm start
After getting the KDM/KDElogin screen I type in my password for an
underpriviledged user, try to login with that, the login screen
disappears, the display is getting black, and I'm thrown back at the
same login screen again.
And yes, auth.log says that the login was OK, something like:
.. session opened for user [ .. ]
.. session closed for user [ .. ]
The culprit must be in one of the packages next below, that I upgraded
today. And IIRC this issue happened *only* after that upgrade:
[The text below is the result of typing
ls -lt -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | grep list | less
.. please ignore the cruft around it ... ]:
