I had added Evolution on top of the already existing SSH Key Agent, GPG Password Agent, Indicator Application and Indicator Messages. It's the same thing, with and without Evolution. Shall I un-tick the 4 others and try again ?

Yes, I can log in via any console (F1-F6) on first attempt (tried it several times and it was successful each time). I also created a new user, just to check if it is linked to my main user. The new user can log in via graphical interface on first attempt (tried several times too and it was

There is one last detail that I can't explain. How come I still have the graphical login interface, although I switched on the "automatic login" in "users accounts" ? Moreover, when I boot my computer and that it comes to logging in, I need to enter my password twice. The first time I

Actually, I haven't got the chance to try as when I now turn my Macbook on and off again, I only get the Grub menu in very low resolution screen and have no other choice but to choose the Trisquel line. When the graphical interface shows up, resolution is still low and I have no control

I can't think of anything I did that could explain that strange new behaviour. Whenever I log into Trisquel with as a normal user (my usual username, not as a guest), I need to enter my password several time (from 1 to 7 or 8 somtimes) before it gets actually accepted. At first I thought

I just don't understand what caused that all of a sudden. Whenever I launch abrowser (or icecat) once, the browser window is displayed but stright away it gets blocked. I can't reach any website (that's why I'm writing htis message from another computer right now). I installed htop and when

Indeed ! So I renamed ~/.config ~/.config-OLD and let the system create a new ~/.config . When logging in again, I got the same problem, i.e. having to enter my session password several times before it got accepted. That leaves me with /var/log/Xorg.0.log . I don't really know what to

Hi, I'm using Gnome and I can only run the network applet with sudo privileges. Have you got any idea how I can either launch the applet as a normal user or set the sudo privileges to an app in "Session and Startup" to run it as soon as I log in ? Thanks

Free at last !! It took me a lot of time and hassle but I managed to get my system back. I couldn't boot on the Trisquel DVD anymore, but I managed to boot on my Snow Leopard OSX. From there, I was going to erase the hdd, re-install OSX, then re-install Trisquel instead as I did initially.

Hi root_vegetable, Sorry if my previous posts weren't clear enough : I just can delete/modify any file in the file system as I haven't got access to it anylonger. I wish I could have a Terminal (but once again that would mean not being barred by the Grub password). I'm in a vicious circle.

Thanks Magic Banana for taking so much of your time for a problem that seems unsolvable. I did try the Ctrl+Alt+F1 method to get a terminal but once the system has booted and I get a graphical interface, not one key would answer. But during the init process, mesing with the keyboard did

Since I went through that mess : https://trisquel.info/forum/weird-login-behaviour#comment-92252 I can't see any link with the issue, but my browsers have come back to normal behaviour. I did nothing special for them to work properly again. Thanks for all your suggestions anyway !
