I am not able to log in as a graphical user on one of my workstations. The login screen works normally, except that:
- The "Session" box is empty
- The "Layout" box reads "??zz" (?? is blue)
When I type my password and hit return, nothing happens.
I can run a terminal session (CTRL+ALT F2) OK, but $startx fails.
This started to happen on Fedora 38. I (foolishly) upgraded to Fedora 39, which only made things worse: I can no longer log in to the machine remotely via ssh. Currently running Fedora 39 with all upgrades installed.
Any ideas on what's going on or how to investigate?
