Re: [gentoo-user] SystemD + Gnome 3.8 I can log in as root but not as normal user
Hi, I do have -consolekit systemd policykit and yes, my kernel is properly configured. To avoid playing around I did reinstalled it again! and guess what? After installing gnome-tweak-tools and shell-extensions and use the tweak tools to do some changes, after reboot, again: blank screen trying to start gnome. So, I unmerged the packages and did: emerge @preserved-rebuild revdep-rebuild emerge -1 gnome but seems not to work, again, I can log in as root, not as user.

Re: [gentoo-user] SystemD + Gnome 3.8 I can log in as root but not as normal user
Update: I was desperate trying to rebuild everything or reinstalling or whatever idea I had. So, my logic said: if root works why others users wont?, then I decided to create another user, and guess what? it worked. So I removed my user and then created a new one and it worked. Yeah this is fine and great that worked, but I would like to know: Why? Thanks.
