Hide Forgot
Description of problem: Not too sure if this is preupgrade/KDM/SELinux but I cannot log in as normal. I have blamed preupgrade as this is the last major change I have done. Preupgrade from a freshly updated Fedora 12 (KDE) to Fedora 14 went swimmingly; /boot was too small, warned to use eth0, all packages were installed - all good. Login screen accepted my name and password but before final loading screen completes, it goes back to the log-in screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): (a) (currently) preupgrade-1.1.8-1.fc14.noarch (not too sure what it was) (b) Revision KDE 4.5 (2010-05-13) (c) As per Bug 646063 - which sounds similar, I have tried updating selinux-policy.noarch but yum says that "selinux-policy-3.9.7-19.fc14.noarch already installed and latest version". How reproducible: Without fail from the gui. Fail-safe method does work although it is very slow. Loging in with root always works. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login from GUI always fails. 2. Once loged in with root, if I try using login to a user account via <<# login username>> from a konsole, then I get the following message: " Warning: Program '/bin/bash' crashed. " followed by a complete locking-up of the konsole window. 3. I tried creating a new user account from F14 root using <<# useradd -geng -s/bin/bash -pxxxx -d/home/dummy -m dummy>> when loging into this F14-native account there is no login loading screen, it just returns to the original login prompt. Actual results: Would expect normal login behaviour as per the F11->F12 upgrade but alas no. Would expect a new user would avoid legacy configuration and thus avoid this. Expected results: Would like to log-on as a normal user with no system privileges. Additional info: I've got deprecation messages for having a modprobe.conf and modprobe.d/ due to an old fix for Broadcom fix in F11 that I just have been a little scared to remove for fear of permanently ruining my wifi... How could I watch TV otherwise?
I don't think this is a SELinux issue. Are you able to log in in permissive mode? Also AFAIK upgrade from F12 to F14 is not recommended.
You might want to try a relable touch /.autorelabel; reboot If this is an SELinux issue.
I think you guys are right, I tried permissive, disabled SELinux policies and relabeled as I went and still I can only login as root. Once logged in as root I can easily login as any user with the su command (i.e. without a password). What are the processes between the gui log in and just a su login...? I'll try and re-tag this problem elsewhere - any ideas? Thanks for the suggestions.
sssd is new in F14. Or pam
The login failure was fixed with the last update I got yesterday. Thanks for all the suggestions. G
