This bug report put me on the right track: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66867, with /var/log/messages: gnome-session-binary[12345]: ERROR: Failed to connect to system bus: Exhausted all available authentication mechanisms and associated YPPROC_DOMAIN not found entries. The NIS domain must be defined and correct in /etc/sysconfig/network so that it's known to dbus when it starts. This is different from CentOS6 and before where the contents of this file largely didn't matter for NIS and /etc/yp.conf was sufficient. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The same user can login find through the gui when the system was installed with the CentOS DVD directly. Package selection was the last option (create workstation or something) with most but not all extra package groups that are selectable at this point.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 7.5 gui login root only
I have seen similar issues when user shell profiles like .bash_profile or .bashrc has some errors. Are users invoking other shells from their default shell ? this usually breaks X11 start-up scripts.

[CentOS] CentOS 7.5 gui login root only
Taking first steps on CentOS 7 1804. Logging into the Gnome/Gnome classic desktop from gdm works only for root. For other users, the screen flashes and the login screen returns. KDE/Plasma login is successful but ends up with a black screen with mouse pointer while all desktop processes appear to be running. The CentOS 7 system is running in a CentOS6 KVM virtual machine, which may be the problem. I have no physical machine for testing right now. These logins work for non-root users when the system is built from the CentOS 7 DVD. The non-working installation stems from a kickstart install which essentially includes a much larger number of packages, some 6k vs. 2.5k from DVD install). Maybe there are conflicts, but I have not been able to isolate anything. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
