text logon

[dshock512]

I can log into KDE as a user but when I use the same login on text it won't accept any commands. It works when I log in as root. The only place I can use user is in KDE.

Do you mean that when you log in to a terminal as a non-root user you just get a blank prompt and can't enter any commands? If that's the case then you need to change your default shell in /etc/passwd. To do this, open up a text editor as root and open the file /etc/passwd. Find the line that starts with your user name. It should look something like this:

dshock:x:1001:1001:,,,:/home/dshock:(something, or nothing)

If whatever's after that last colon isn't "/bin/bash", replace it with "/bin/bash". If this wasn't your problem then maybe I didn't understand your explanation.

But good luck anyway!
