Hi
I cannot login as myself or root under Wayland. Under a Plasma5 session I can login as root but not as self. Autologin works, but when disabled, cannot login as self.
Do you mean you fail to authenticate as user at the login screen? Forgotten credentials? Or something else?
Known good credentials fail to authenticate.
I wonder if could be a missing package? Maybe I had an unprovided dependency & deleted package instead of waiting for repos to settle?
The graphic login is handled by the display-manager software. That could be āsddmā or āgdmā or ālightdmā. You have not indicated which you are using.
Have you tried login at a command line? Does that work? (You can get to a command line with CTRL-ALT-F1).
If you have a habit of logging into a GUI as root you may have inadvertently changed ownership of .Xauthority in your user directory this would cause a failure to login
sddm and I believe gdm have been placing $XAUTHORITY as a random file in /tmp for a while now in TW, so thatās probably not the case
What does fail to authenticate means?
I suggest you create a brand new user and attempt a graphical login.
I suggest you provide more information about your system. Guesswork is a waste of time.
I tried logging in Ctrl + Alt + F1 & could only login as root. I changed the password for my user account & can now login at will. Misconfigured credentials, once upon a timeā¦
So, yeah Iām really stupid, really.
:shame::?:shame:
It seems that you now have it fixed. Iām glad to hear that.
