I recently installed Hardy Server on another partition to "play" with. I decided I to put the KDE4 desktop on and everything went smoothly, but when I tried to log on after the installation, it would not accept my password. I even set up a new account and it would not accept the password to the new account.

Any one got an idea as to what's going on?

What about after changing the password with passwd?

No difference.

Might be your users are not a member of a group allowed to run startx.

Drop to a command line and kill KDM.

sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop

Then try startx

It may or may not give you some errors to work with.

Thanks. I'll make a note of your reply for future reference.

I got a little frustrated and nuked the whole setup and just added it to my current Hardy version as another session. Works great and was a minimum of hassle. Now to try it out and see how KDE4 does for me....
