I am on Fedora 16 KDE spin. Yesterday I ran the fsck command and that broke things. I can login via the tty, so I guess it has nothing to do with the shadow file. The login screen reappears after login no matter how many times I try to get past it. The permissions are the same as before. Also I have tried renaming the .kde folder. Doesn't help. This affects all the users, even root. My guess is the X server is restarting after login bringing me back to the login screen. Any way I can solve this?

Given your answers in the comments, the problem is that the program "ssh-agent" can't load the library libfipscheck which it needs in order to run. The quick fix is to edit your .xinitrc file and comment out the call to ssh-agent from it. The real fix is to re-install the package fipscheck-lib . |
