Debian login

[simon.brouillard1]

Dear Debian users...

I installed Debian just yesterday...
all installation process was ok, but screen resolution
was 640 X 480.

I try to change to 800 X 600 and 1024 x 768

I use sudo dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it seem
to me that will be ok.

BUT When i reboot my pc, the login screen is prompting
to get my user name and password.

I write my user name and password and as it seems to me
OK, th login screen is be back. Now each time that i
boot my pc, it's always the same... just the login page!!!

How i can correct this tricky problem?

You need to login each time you reboot. Are you able to get into X after you login?

boot my pc, it's always the same... just the login page!!!

It looks like .ICEauthority file has been corrupted. Press Alt+Ctrl+F1. Does it allow you to log in?
Press Aly+Ctrl+F7 to switch back to GUI.

Tanks devil Casper!
I start my Debian PC and after login correctly, it was again in
the login screen. I try ALT+CTRL+F1 and the pc goto as like in
command line... What i have to do now?

[devils casper]

Login as regular user and execute this

cd
mv .gnome2 gnome2.bak
mv .gconfd gconfd.bak
exit

Press Alt+Ctrl+F7. Try to login again. In case it doesn't work, reboot machine.

I execute your to command's mv and exit
and reboot... but it was the same login screen

[devils casper]

Okk !

Press Alt+Ctrl+F1 again and login as regular user.
Create new user and try to login through new user id. Let say, new User Id is simon.

su -
adduser simon -d /home/users/simon
passwd simon
exit
exit

Tanks a lot devil casper...

Since few minuts, i replace debian by OpenSuse...the
installation process is hardest... and it's look
so pretty. Now The most important thing is: "Don't
change configuration parameters before reading
documentation"

Sorry if i used too much of your precious time.
