[authorization] fails silently for normal users, cannot start server
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.0.1-9 Severity: important When I try to start X server as a user, the X server complains that the authorization has failed and terminates. Likewise when trying to login from gdm (tried other display managers, too) I can't paste anything now but as far as I can summarize: from auth.log, a message like PAM_unix[...]: authentication failure; (uid=0) -> exa for gdm service exa is a normal user here, and gdm is the standard gdm. exa's uid is 1000 That's when I try to login from gdm. When I try to login from console the error is more silent. PAM_unix[..]: (login) session opened for user exa by LOGIN(uid=0) what is going on here? :((( none of our users can login to X for the past 6 weeks!!! help please.
