   Hi,
   I try the new build slitaz rolling core 20140907, i install it, no problem.
   But when i reboot the system, i have this message when i try to open my default session:
   username: tux
   password: tux
   "Failed to execute login command"
   WHY ?
   Any idea please ?

   Check file permissions by terminal command:

   ls -l /home/tux/.xinitrc

   In the 20140824 version, there was a similar bug.
   I got "Failed to execute login command" when I tried to login as root.

   I solved this issue with:
   ---start---
   su
   {Type root password; usually "root"}
   cp -avr "/home/tux/.config" "/root/.config"
   ---end---

   It seems that the distro generates the .config folder just for the tux user, not for root or other users as it should.
   I hope you'll fix this bug.

   Key Master

   Slim login to root account is broken on the live cd so it is broken on an install.
   Live cd log out X session user tux, at slim login screen login as user root fails because there is no /root/.config/slitaz/applications.conf
   To manually fix type exit at slim login to drop to shell.
   Login root passwd: root
   mkdir -p .config/slitaz && cp /etc/slitaz/applications.config .config/slitaz
   Restart slim:
   slim
   Login as root now works.

   The creation of ~/.config/slitaz/applications.conf is done by /usr/bin/tazx which is owned by slitaz-tools.
   http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-tools/file/20a0a8c12eb4/tinyutils/tazx#l204
   Not sure what changes broke cp /etc/skel/.config/slitaz/applications.conf /root
   Maybe it's not in /etc/skel when /root is created?

   I have made numerous full installs with tazinst and user tux login works.

   Thanks Lessons for your answer. I'm soory but i don't understand your issue:
   I have to write this line in a terminal like sakura ?
   I have to write this line with or without the "" ?
   Many thanks.

   Yes. I used sakura.
   {Type root password; usually "root"} means type "root" without ""

   su
   root
   cp -avr "/home/tux/.config" "/root/.config"

   mojo: "I have made numerous full installs with tazinst and user tux login works."
   In the last version of rolling-core the root login did not work, even if tux login works!
   This is because the Desktop-files are not copied in /root.

   BTW, wouldn't it be better to change the home location for the root user from /root to /home/root, to be like /home/tux ??

   This issue caused by adding post-install to provide drives mount 2 weeks ago, and was fixed yesterday, now is already on main mirror.
   So, just updating of this package required: slitaz-configs-base

   tazpkg recharge && tazpkg -gi slitaz-configs-base --forced

   (Fix is temporary, until configs-HG new tag after editing.)

   >/home/root
   Hope, this will never happens
