if you login as root then, in a terminal type
It may fix the problem. It did for me when I had similar symptoms (though caused by something different)Code:cd /tmp chmod -R a+rwx .X11-unix chmod 1777 .X11-unix chmod 1777 /tmp
I just did a hd install and chose begginer and when i get to the graphical login i can pick a username and try to login but it just resets x and brings me back to the login. If i login as root i go in wiith out any problems. Any suggestions?????

I had the same problem. The first time you login with every user you create, you have to select the "Session type", otherwise X won't start the user's session.Originally Posted by darkstar2002
You have to do this only once.
Ready tried all of that. still doesnt work right.
do you have caracters other than a, s, d, f, g, h, j, k, l in the password? if so try logging in as root and change the keyboardlayout in X and in the consle.
it might work ok after that.
why it works is that apparently knoppix sometimes defaults to german keyboard. try changing the password to aaaaaaaa (8x a) for the user, that should work even if the keyboardswtch occured (as root) type
passwd username (enter)
newpassword (enter)
the password wont show any *** byt the keys will be entered anyway.
Does anybody else have any ideas i still can not get any readular users into x just root
Did you create these users?
If you created a user foo, is there a directory /home/foo?
When you did a hd install, which type did you pick, beginner, knoppix, or debian? I have a feeling you chose knoppix, and if so, that's the problem. The knoppix install is locked, you could add users, but it's difficult. You're better off reinstalling using debian type install.
