My suggestion is that you should stop installing your OS over and over again for first: it's just a waste of time. If you really want to solve your problems, post some logs so we can help you. When you do a fresh install, hundreds of packages are involved and it's quite difficult to find the culprit. So what you are doing is almost useless. Probably you will find more saviour advices than mine, but check the permissions on the files of your /home/directory.

Maybe this thread can help you: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-kde@lists.debian.org/msg30593.html I resolved my problem applying the solutions of this thread.

Another cannot login problem, fresh install
Hi, I did the next: - debian testing fresh base install - upgrade to unstable - install kde-standar kdm... When I login with kdm, x is restarted in the kde starting splash screen. I tried with gdm, but it is the same. There is no permissions problem with the user or with /tmp, etc, folders, it is a fresh install. The only error message is from syslog, saying "x server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly". There are no errors in x log and .xsession-errors is empty. kaboom never appears. I installed kde from unstable directly, I never ugraded from testing. Any help? Thanks Facundo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Cannot login
Hello. Some weeks ago I had exactly the same behaviour as you in my debian testing system. I cannot login to kde "with kdm". When I tried to login to kde I get kdm's login screen again. Also, and I think that that is the problem we have, I applied https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-510. Until now, I thought that the fix to skype was not what caused the problem with the login, but now, I think that that's the problem, because I have exactly the same problem with the login as yours and the problem start exactly after I applied the fix to skype's (Until now, I thought that the problem comes with a patch upgrade or something like that). I made the following tests: - Create a new user and tried to login and get the same behaviour. - Check free space and all was ok. - Rename /.kde to /.kde_old and /.kde4 to /.kde4_old and I get the same behaviour. - I tried to undo the recommendations in https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-510 with no success (but I really don't know if I do all the steps to restore the system as before the fix) - I remove the kdm and reinstall it with no success - I remove all kde packages and reinstalled, also with no success :-( - I could start kde with no problem from a console, stopping the kdm and executing startx with my user. Can you try this? Finally I applied the following workaround: I remove kdm and installed gdm. After that, I have no problem to login. I haven't investigated any further because I really don't know from where the problem comes, but now, maybe we have to undo the steps applied with the skype's solution to solve our problem. I hope this helps to solve our problem P.D.

If this does'nt work, you can try to create a new user and then cope all your files to /home/new-user.

Hello there. I got a debian testing installation and I currently cannot login in kde. I give my pass and instead of a proper kde session I get kdm's login screen again. I haven't done any upgrade but I did a really stupid thing: I hit the power button and turn the laptop off the hard way while it was in suspend mode. I tried googling but it gave me no usefull things. The .xsession-errors file in my home folder says Permission denied. I checked the permissions in /tmp and /var/tmp and everything seems fine. I also deleted the .kde folder. Login in as root and typing startx opens a kde session. Any ideas? PS: I did the instructions described in this page: https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-510 in order to fix skype on me 64-bit installation, but I don't think it has something to do with my problem.
