Hi everyone.
After I changed the passwords for root and my user, I cannot access with SLiM. I must use a tty, and with it I can access successfully.
I have already tried reinstalling it, without any effect. Which could be the problem?
Regards,
Grant.

Please don't bump threads. That no one answered is a clear indication either we do not know, or that there is not enough information on which to proceed.
What have you learned since the first post? What have you tried? What have you searched?
Does your user have an .xinitrc ? Does it execute from a command line without errors?
Is the user's home directory accessible?

I'm sorry, but I don't know what I can add.
Anyway it's a strange problem, because it appeared when I changed the root's and user's passwords. How I have already said, I have to access from one tty and start Xorg (yes, I have a .xinitrc file to start KDE).
I've just controlled /etc/passwd and I use /bin/bash for each account.
I'm pretty sure it's a SLiM problem, because with root's account is the same thing.

Do you use SLiM's autologin? Maybe it tries to access your user with it's old password.
Offline
No, I don't use it.
Things I thought that could be:
-Cache problem? Maybe it saved my passwords to be faster in the login; but it would be insecure.
-I read that when an account is blocked, the password is changed; but I can access from a tty.
-Some wrong setting in the config files.

.xinitrc is a simple shell script so you execute it just like any other shell script that's not in your $PATH (you might have to make it executable first or bash will complaint about permissions).

in other words, from a tty, ~/.xinitrc

It's not executable (also tried with sudo). Anyway, are .xinitrc and slim related?I don't think.
I'm going to try to read slim's log file, and report it to you.

It's not executable
man chmod

Done, but it says
$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server.

This is slim's log when I try to login:
slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
slim: pam_authentication(): Authentication failure

I wanted to say that either starting .xinitrc or using startkde directly the output should be the same.

I've partially solved!

But I didn't understand what I have to do to fix. May someone tell me?

If you are using a keymap other than the default (I forget what this is) then your tty should pick up on it, but slim might not. Try to see if slim is using your correct keymap, and if it isn't, get it to.

you dont need a login manager with KDE I dont know why people use SLiM unless theyre actually using Archbang...

Because SLiM is simple, that's why.
