Login problems

Hi, I got my laptop battery accidently disconnected, while laptop was suspended to RAM. And now I'm experiencing these problems:
When I'm trying to login to the system using sddm or kdm:
after i've entered my password - I get mouse cursor and default wallscreen displayed and nothing happens after that.
It dosent matter if I'm trying to login to kde or to TWM.

I've created new user to test whether is it related to some user settings. It's not. The same thing happens for a new user.

I can login to the tty console.

I can perform startx and startkde with root credentionals and kde works just fine.

But if I'm performing startx with standart user credentionals - twm starts and then my laptop ignoring any input (besides power button).

My ~/.xsession-errors contains only the following line:

>sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

I've alredy done fsck.

Do you have any idea what I'm dealing with here?

Re: Login problems

Some (probably relevant) info from journalctl. After the login attempt with sddm, I'm getting:

>dbus: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.login1': timed out
>sddm-helper: pam_systemd(sddm:session): failed to create session: connection timed out

Re: Login problems

Is this related and just a coincidence perhaps?....

It's unlikely.

I don't have any of these:
>shows the progress bar and eventually loads with a black screen. I get a mouse cursor, I can press ctrl-alt-del to get the "lot out" option and alt-f2 to get the launcher, although nothing can be launched from it.

Just mouse cursor and wallpaper.

I'm using kde4. (But it actually doesn't matter because I'm getting the same behavior, whether I'm trying to login to kde or to twm).
