I make a guess: maybe you set your graphical login manager to make a remote login? I know similar windows from KDM. Search for a option to make a local login. > If I type in 127.0.0.1, or localhost, or localdomain, or its > 192.168.x.y, or lo, or localhost.localdomain, or > localhost@localdomain, and try to add it, I get a new box with a "do > not enter" symbol and the title "Did not receive response from server," > below which is a paragraph saying it didn't get it in 3 seconds, and > adding "Perhaps the host is not turned on, or is not willing to support > a login session right now. Please try again later." Is does not seem right for me to enter a server name in order to login locally. Another question: can you login on local console? This ugly ;-) textual thing you can reach with Ctrl-Alt-F1 (usually Ctrl-Alt-F7 brings you back to the graphical console). If you can, there is nothing wrong with your account. -- bye, Adalbert modem, adj.: Up-to-date, new-fangled, as in "Thoroughly Modem Millie." An unfortunate byproduct of kerning. [That's sic!]
