I ran yum update this morning, getting a gazillion updates. I rebooted the system.
When it came back up, I couldn't log in. I'd get a KDM screen, login, then immediately get the KDM screen again. I tried to login with a "failsafe" session which gave me (apparently) an xterm that printed black rectangles for all characters :-). I tried other sessions like xfce and gnome and got the same KDM login screen popping back up after I typed my password. I got in a vterm as root, created a new user, and logged in as that user with a default gnome session. That seemed to work fine. I decided I should compare what is running in the session with my original user, so I logged out and logged in again as original user, and now my original user login works fine. Logging in once as a different user appears to have completely fixed the system. What the heck was that? (It will be interesting to see if the same sequence happens when I install the latest updates at home). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
