Re: Login failure after new install
I realize my interaction with the list is problematic. I am new to this, I don’t subscribe to the list itself, and I am interacting via the web page lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/08/threads.html On that page there are only three choices I can see for replying, none of which have the desired effect of adding the reply to the message thread as I would wish. Relative to the actual problem I have, my point is that I am doing a fairly vanilla install that leads to an non-functional system. I did not “leave out” anything that the install wanted to include; I only “added” GNOME as an optional desktop. I have tried several test installs on a different machine using various desktop options. KDE worked and let me login after the reboot but, it did have problems with the cursor being inverted and offset from the active pointer location making it very hard to work with. This cursor behavior carried over into the GUI as well. However, if the GUI was started from a TTY the cursor displayed properly and behaved normally. MATE worked just fine: no bizarre behavior with the DM, login works just fine, and the GUI works as expected. I liked the MATE desktop better then GNOME 3 so I re-installed the system on the original machine using MATE and all is well. So, from my point of view the original issue is moot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Login failure after new install
It’s no secret. In the original post I said I did a default install except for the inclusion of GNOME. That implies the DM is gdm and the GUI is Gnome 3. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Login failure after new install
The whole problem is that I have not received ANY mail in response to my original post. Because my original post included my return email address I expected the responses would be mailed to me. When none arrived by the end of the day I checked the web page: lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/08/threads.html and found replies had been posted. I check to see if my ISPs spam filter was overzealously quarantining the replies. It was not. With no mail message to reply to I proceeded to interact via the web page with the obvious problematic results. As an aside, the OS X mail client does behave as described I the quoted passage, but this only affects the display and organization of messages in the client’s mail folders. To the best of my knowledge it does not affect the functionality of the normal reply-to mechanics nor is it the cause of my difficulties with interacting with the mailing list, but I could be wrong. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Re: Login failure after new install
First the typo: The “guy should have been “gui (thanks to autocorrect). Second memory: That’s why I reset the password from the recovery mode command prompt. Third the management account: The install says that leaving the root password blank will result in the root account being disabled and the first created users account being setup as a management account capable of using sudo to perform management tasks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Login failure after new install
When the failure occurs, there is no error indication; the login screen is just reset. I thought the problem might be the password, that’s why I reset it via the command prompt in recovery mode. I did not change the keyboard information offered as default during the installation (i.e., English, U.S.). I am able to login from TTY. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Login failure after new install
I am not trying to log into the gui with sudo, but rather to log into an account which is able to perform a sudo once logged in. I have also created another standard user account and am unable to log into that account from the gui (it behaves just like it does when trying to log into the system management account). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Login failure after new install
I have completed a network installation of 8.1.0. I left the root password blank (i.e., disabled root login), supplied a username and password for a system management account, and selected GNOME as the only additional software to install. After the installed completed and the system rebooted I was unable to login to the system management account via the guy interface (i.e., after entering the password the screen went gray for a short time and then the re-presented the login display). I rebooted into recovery mode, changed the management account password, and rebooted the system again. The gui login behaved the same. What’s going on? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Debian Installation Impossible on SATA HDD
Hi all, i'm new here and english is not my native language. I hope to find some help about an unsolved issue concerning the impossible installation of Debian on SATA hard disk. I'm trying to install linux Debian 4,0 (Etch Stable distrib) on my new hard disk SATA and more precisely on a partition of 200Gio. Here some details of my HDD: -Manufacturer: Western Digital Type: Barracuda -HDD SATA -capacity: 500Gio -Partions: 4 (Debian, Mandriva, Swap, Data) The Debian installation is impossible from a bootable DVD, network (Netinst), live cd...I've re-downloaded an iso image from the official ftp web site and same result. During installation, language can be choosen, network interface is recognized and configured but IS STOPPED at hard disk detection and partitionning step. Indeed, my SATA hard disk is not detected/recognized and consequently installation fails. Installer propose a list of driver to select but no one is working in my case. I've contacted Western Digital but they cannot solve my problem. PS: With tis HDD SATA, installation was successfull with Mandriva2008, Ubuntu 8,0. But NOT DEBIAN Please, could you help me to fix this issue? Sincerly, K -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
