The same problem in many new installations of pclos 2009.2: nobody has my problem? Nonbody has any idea about?

[Mike]

Log in as root, then add a new user, see if that will work. 

[duns]

No: not work

[Mike]

Try booting from th e"Safe Mode" option, then see if you can log in as a user or root...

[duns]

Excuse me, for my prior answer 
I tried to do as you suggest and the result was that I cannot login with a graphical interface: the screen appeared as a terminal (textual), with written "going single user"; and then I don't know how do anything, I rebooted the pc...

[duns]

nobody can answer anything?
thanks if you

[Mike]

Ok, I went back and read your original post..Now I need some information, Can you boot to a desk top?
Are you trying to set the "Auto Login" so you can go directly to the desktop on booting the machine?

[duns]

Not: it is impossibile "auto-login" (no user pre-selection at all and system stop since I select a user and type the password) 
Thank you

Quick question If you don't mind is this a new install or is this an upgrade. what are the specs of your machine. What were you doing when this started. These little things I mentioned and other little details can really help to narrow things down as to why things happen like they do..

  here is a link to my issue

http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,68580.msg559756.html#msg559756

cause I'm have been scouring the forums for answers and as usual in the past its probably something simple and viola its done

1) Just a little correction: after a logout no preslection, neither autologin, but after a reboot the autologi run.
2) The hardware is exactly the same that was running the preselection (with pclos 2009.1): the problem is the software (2009.2).
Maybe I have first maintained the repo Belgian (but is the default for the 2009.2 in my coutry, Italy, sorry)
Thank you

I will try the logout on my system with the Auto login function selected in PCLOS. This should tell us if its a bug or what..


Ok, my system does auto login at boot up. Then if I log out,   it does offer the login screen for re-entry .
 I would also say this, PCLinuxOS 2010 will be out shortly, I think I would wait for it.
If you want to play around a little, install the very latest Kernel from synaptic and see what happens.

Just to be sure I understood you If I understood you correctly, your system auto login's at Boot correctly, but does not offer the login screen after manually you logoff.

Hopefully this will help some..

Same here - my auto login works just fine and it offers the login screen for re-entry when I manually log out.

The only time I remember not having the regular login screen is after logging out of a live cd session  OR after PCLos is freshly installed but apart from those occasions its always  worked for me...

I can not duplicate this in all of my systems, and I sure have tried every way I know how.
Sorry I wasn't able to help.
