I am using KDE and I have a couple users. Today I tried to login to one of the accounts, and the screen went blank and it clicked and then it came back to the KDM login screen.
I deleted that user and added it again. Tried logging in, but no luck...same thing.
I tried the other user, and couldn't login to that user either.
Root is the only user who can login to KDM.

I had that problem once....I think what I did was log in as root and set a new password for user:
passwd <username>

If it was a password mismatch problem it would say "Failed", but it does not. The login box goes away and it acts like it's switching to that user.
I did try this though, and it did not fix the problem.

I have a similar problem. I'm running V3.3-2003-09-24 and have a couple of users. When I try to login through kdm with any user except root I first get several errors stating something about a DCOP server and then the screen just goes blank and I have to turn off my computer.
At first it would not let me login with a new user but then I changed the password for that user and now this happens.

Psycosys, try logging in using the commandline and see what happens...
Hi,
is there enough free disk space? I had this problem when my disk was almost full. Root can login because each file system has 5..10% reserved space for root.
