Log in problem

Post by Phenox6 » 2018/01/19 02:16:20

Hi again
I have a problem with the login of my CentOS 7 machine. When I start the machine it gets to the login screen, I enter my password, then the screen turns completely white with this message :
"Oh no! Something gone wrong. A problem has occured and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again"

When I log out , it just repeats and I end up with the white screen again.

Any help would be appreciated
Thank you

Have you tried logging in as Root?? If you can log in as Root, but not in as User then your User's account is jacked.

Switch consoles using Ctrl-Alt-F2 (or F3 etc) and login at the command line. Check your logs for errors, start with /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if that helps.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

"Oh no! Something gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again"
This message appears when a Gnome desktop session is started, but no driver with suitable 3D graphics acceleration is found.

What graphics card do you have? If NVidia, try install kmod_nvidia.

Alternatively, try to install a desktop with lower demands on the graphics, like for example XFCE.
