default os: loop while login as rock

[hmuller]

@gritibaenz,

keymap issues drop to the bottom of the list of potential problems as the problem still occurs after resetting the password to "rock".

Now check the ownership of /home/rock/.Xauthority and /home/rock/.ICEauthority. From your second user account, open a console and login to the rock user: Ctrl-Alt-F1

Then run the following command to list the ownership of both files:

Code:

$ ls -l {.Xauthority,.ICEauthority}

The ownership of both files should look like this:

Code:

-rw------- 1 rock rock 66374 Dec 31 11:02 .ICEauthority
-rw------- 1 rock rock   378 Dec 31 11:02 .Xauthority

If the owner/group does not show 'rock rock', then correct that using:

Code:

$ sudo chown rock:rock /home/rock/.Xauthority

or

$ sudo chown rock:rock /home/rock/.ICEauthority

Exit the console, return to your X11 session: Ctrl-Alt-F7

Logout of X11 and attempt to login as rock, let me know if any of the above was the culprit.
