Greetings: I installed slink on a friend's machine a little while back. I recently got a email from him saying that he moved to potato and now he can log in through telnet but not at his own keyboard. He was asking me how to fix it, and if he couldn't log in at all I would have some suggestions, but given that he can get in through telnet but not onscreen, I'm stumped. The only difference I can cite is that when he logs on screen he says he's using "a graphical login" (I assume XDM...) and it won't let him in. He said that he can "alt-F2" to a console and try to log in but that gives him the same result.
I myself moved from slink to potato without glitches like this numerous times without major problems. I haven't personally seen his machine since the problem but I will be soon. Does anyone have any idea what I can look at when I go there to try to fix it? thank you, - Harlan -- Harlan Crystal E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: 'Harlan Crystal' www: http://sdf.lonestar.org/~harlan/
