Hi,
Just installed Fedora 14 LXDE spin on my trusty IBM T61 Thinkpad laptop.
It was a clean install, however after install, I can not get beyond the login screen.
Here is what happens:
I input my user name for the Username: hit enter and then my password next to Password:
Both go away, but the big Login screen does not. (Basically nothing happens). Hitting the quit button to reboot/shutdown causes a flashback to the first login screen (and then the above process is repeated with amazing regularity).
Going in to console mode and logging in shows lxdm-greeter as a process running. Nothing else is out of the ordinary.
So you can login on the console with the same username and password?
Any suggestions?
Boot with SELinux disabled to see if it is the culprit. When the grub prompt appears, hit a key to get to the menu. Then select your kernel and hit "e" to edit. Select the line starting with "kernel=...", hit "e" again and add "enforcing=0" to the end of the line. Then press "b" to boot.
If it is a SELinux Problem, please tell me what version of selinux-policy is installed.
