Sometime yesterday (see thread Can't kill process) I lost the ability to
log in to my Slackware machine, ENU-2, from its keyboard. I can log in
via ssh from another machine. I have successfully mounted a USB stick
and copied all the directories in my Downloads directory and copied them
to this machine (the one I'm typing on).
Just a few minutes ago I thought I'd try logging in from ENU-2's
keyboard. I had a look a the options and saw one of them is called
Failsafe. So, I gave it a try. While it works, it provides only a small
terminal window, which works for awhile, but then stops responding to
anything other than <ctrl>d. I do that enough times and it logs me out.
I can log back in to Failsafe, but not KDE, KDE (Failsafe), or XFCE.
When I enter my password, the screen briefly shows the beginnings of the
initial phases of logging in, but then goes blank, and returns to the
login screen.
At this point I'm seriously considering starting over. I have all the
stuff I downloaded for various add on programs, so reinstalling them
will take a little less time than before.
I there any good reason I shouldn't go this route?
