After The Last Two Updates To Current There Are Network And Xorg Prolems.
by cwizardone from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZFPT)
Yesterday, Sunday I installed the latest updates to -current from Saturday night/Sunday morning. The installation was up to date prior to this batch of changes and was working perfectly.
This morning, Monday, when I turned on the machine I couldn't connect and received the error message that I wasn't authorized. I signed out and signed on as root and could connect.
So, thinking it might be PAM, I re-formated and did a fresh install from an .iso dated 27 January 2020. I updated the kernel to 5.4.20, installed AlienBob's mulitlib files an all the other packages I usually install. No PAM or related files from /testing this time around.
Everything was fine.
Then I installed Saturday/Sunday's updates and the latest batch from Sunday night/Monday morning.
The problem has returned. If root has made the connection I can't, as user disconnect. If root hasn't made the connection, I can't, as user, connect.
And, now the only way out of xorg, as root and user, is to hit the ctrl/alt/backspace keys.
Any thoughts on what has cause these problems?
Thanks.
