I am on most currently updated F13, and I cannot do that, and ops strongly discourage doing it. At any rate, since you ARE able to login into the gui desktop as root, but not as regular user, then the problem is in you home directory contents. Try this: Of the files listed below, do this: Login as root user via console (Ctrl-Alt-F2) cd ~NormalUserAccount (which is giving you trouble) and run this script: for i in .gconf .gconfd .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gnome_private ; do mv $i $i.save echo "Type Ctrl-Alt-F7 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get back to GUI login banner" echo "If you are able to login without problems, come back to this terminal and asnwer the question." echo "" /bin/echo -n "Were you able to login? y/n [y]: " #i.e. yes is the default if you just press enter read ans [ "$ans" = "n" ] && mv $i.save $i && continue break done WHen script exits, AND your login is successful, please tell us which file was moved and remained with the extension .save Sometimes, the cause of the exit may be your shell's .profile or .bashrc or .bash-profile in your home dir. If the above script does not fix the problem, rename your shell's rc files or .profiles... and try to login again.
