Hello,
Okay so if it is user specific, there are a few things you can
try:
* Make sure file permissions and ownership on your home directory
and all its subfolders is correct. John has already suggested this
and it's very likelly to happen if you have reinstalled your
system and restored your home directory from a backup or if you
are using dedicated home partition accross installs.
* Make sure you can play sound when logging in as the user in
question.
I am using commands like
speaker-test
pacmd list-sinks
espeak hello
spd-say hello
to see if my sound setup is all okay.
* If you have no feetback after trying to login via GDM or you
are placed back to the login screen window checking Xorg or GDM
logs would still be usefull.
I would suggest taking look at:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log for the GDM X session
~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log for the user X session
* If nothing of these brings any clues as to what might be going
wrong I suggest reading systemd journal.
Read the log since last boot from newest to oldest
sudo journalctl -b -r | more
Read last three minutes of logs from newest to oldest
sudo journalctl -b -r --since "3 minutes ago" | more
I know this is perhaps a bit complicated but newertheless is good
to know. Of course you can read journalctl --help or look to the
Arch wiki if you need more hints on how to read systemd journal.
If you can find out more regarding your logging in issue and you
still need some help with other things to try, please continue the
discussion.
Greetings
Peter

This is a fresh install of gnome. Intrestingly enough if I
create a second account all works as it should. I am not able
to login to the original account I created I am still testing
some things, but it is very strange. I will report if I find
any problems.

Hello,
If you are observing this with multiple distros, I guess this
might be specific to your hardware configuration.
Have you looked into the file
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
If there are some errors or hints you might use while
investigating the issue further?
Has this started happening latelly or are you seeing it ever
since youVe installed gnome?

Hi all,
Using arch linux with all updated
solsoftwa, I am unable to login to a gnme session with
gdm. I first have to enter my user name and then my
password but this does not seem to be working. Loging
into a text concal works fine but not a gdm gnome
session. Any one else have this problem. I also had
this problem with paldo as well. If anyone else has
this problem would you please pass on a way to fix
this. I may be able too setup auto login but would
prefer not have to do that if possib.lle
Thanks.
Matthew
