Hi all..
Got Knoppix 3.4 installed on HD (fabulous!)
yesterday, I was just trying to bypass the hdd autodetection and fstab re-generation during boot when I accidentally pressed ALT+F2 or something similar... from then on my user cannot login anynmore using KDM (only root can) no matter the window manager I choose... display cannot start and just flickers and gets back to the KDM screen after a few seconds...
if I boot to console (or set init runlevel to 3), log myself in manually and then run a "startx" everything is just fine, but I do need an automatic graphical login, I find it just useful!
I've been looking for a solution in this forum and in other groups, but no way! what the hell might have happened?
tried to see if the problem was a corrupted .Xauthority/.xsession file, or a persistent X0-lock in /tmp, but no... tried to set runlevel to 3 and then back to 5.. nothing to do.. is it maybe an ssh issue?? shall I try to create a new user and see if login works? has anyone experienced a similar problem?? please, help me!! thanks a lot in advance...
