Hey guys!
Recently I have installed a game (mmorpg), planning to play it using Wine. The problem came when the game started to download files for the nProtect Game Guard - after the download I’ve been asked to reboot my computer.
After the reboot I cannot login in the graphical mode with the user I was logged on at that time. I can yet login from the console. When I try to login my screen turns black for a moment then it gets me back to the login screen.
Logging in root works problem-free in any mode.
I deleted the game guard’s files but still it doesn’t work.
Should I strace anything? (I’m somewhat a linux newbie)
Where should the problem be?
Edit: I forgot to say that I’m using opensuse 11 with kde 3.5
Well…I was able to reconfigure the X server, yet when I tried to login again from the graphical mode with that user it acted the same as before - nothing changed.
I created a new user and logging in from the graphical mode with it works fine. So the problem is only with the user I was logged on at that time. Are there any configuration files that I may compare?
What if I login from the console and then strace ‘startx’ or ‘startkde’ - can that help you?
okay, so the X server configuration is fine, it’s just your session.
Is it possible that KDE tries to restart the game when you log in? Can you please login, then go back to the command line (Alt+Ctr+F1), login as root and check if the game is still running. Use e.g. "pas ax|grep nameofgameexecutable
