This bug report put me on the right track: 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66867, with

/var/log/messages: gnome-session-binary[12345]: ERROR: Failed to connect to 
system bus: Exhausted all available authentication mechanisms

and associated YPPROC_DOMAIN not found entries.

The NIS domain must be defined and correct in /etc/sysconfig/network so that 
it's known to dbus when it starts. This is different from CentOS6 and before 
where the contents of this file largely didn't matter for NIS and /etc/yp.conf 
was sufficient.

The same user can login find through the gui when the system was installed with 
the CentOS DVD directly. Package selection was the last option (create 
workstation or something) with most but not all extra package groups that are 
selectable at this point.

This is a KVM machine, I have tried the default (cirrus) and vga, no change.

I have seen similar issues when user shell profiles like .bash_profile or
.bashrc has some errors.
Are users invoking other shells from their default shell ? this usually
breaks X11 start-up scripts.

Now it begins to sound like a video driver problem. What video do you have?

Nothing relevant in these log files.  The test user is in NIS and home 
directory is auto-mounted.  All of this works, user can login through text 
console and ssh.  selinux is disabled.  But even startx isn't working, and 
again the Xorg log doesn't give any indication what might be the problem.

Sounds like an authorization issue. Have you checked both
/var/log/messages and /var/log/secure? If you're using /etc/password, are
its permissions and ownership correct? Are the user's home directories
owned by them?

[CentOS] CentOS 7.5 gui login root only

2018-05-31 Thread isdtor
Taking first steps on CentOS 7 1804.

Logging into the Gnome/Gnome classic desktop from gdm works only for root. For 
other users, the screen flashes and the login screen returns. KDE/Plasma login 
is successful but ends up with a black screen with mouse pointer while all 
desktop processes appear to be running.

The CentOS 7 system is running in a CentOS6 KVM virtual machine, which may be 
the problem. I have no physical machine for testing right now.

These logins work for non-root users when the system is built from the CentOS 7 
DVD. The non-working installation stems from a kickstart install which 
essentially includes a much larger number of packages, some 6k vs. 2.5k from 
DVD install). Maybe there are conflicts, but I have not been able to isolate 
anything.
