I am using the following Grub2 menuentry to start Slitaz 4.0.

menuentry 'Slitaz 4.0 Live Console Mode (u/p:tux,u/p:root) Type slim 2 Start GUI' {
linux /boot/slitaz/boot/bzImage lang=en kmap=en screen=text
initrd /boot/slitaz/boot/rootfs.gz
}

I am starting in this mode because of issues with Xorg and my Nvidia video card on my laptop.

I login in as root and execute the following.

#tazx

I choose XVesa and nv driver.

Then I start slim.

#slim

It has "tux" as the user name. I enter "tux" as the password and the gui drops to commanline and comes back up with the "tux" user. I even tried "root".

Thanks in advance.

Common reasons for failed logins:
Slitaz is installed on partition formated with fat16, fat32 or ntfs filesystem.
Partition with slitaz install is full.

Slitaz, is on my usb drive formatted fat32. On the same drive this work booting directly to the gui on some computers. I have 23 gigs free on the usb drive.

menuentry 'Slitaz 4.0 Live Console Mode (u/p:tux,u/p:root) Type slim 2 Start GUI' {
linux /boot/slitaz/boot/bzImage lang=en kmap=en
initrd /boot/slitaz/boot/rootfs.gz
}

This is the cause of the failed login:

Slitaz, is on my usb drive formatted fat32

Linux operating systems break if installed on a drive formated with microsoft filesystem(fat16,fat32,ntfs).

Slitaz must be installed on a drive formated to ext2,ext3 or ext4 linux filesystem.

Why does the same files work? My menentry that boots to the GUI points to the same files.

menuentry 'Slitaz 4.0 Live Console Mode (u/p:tux,u/p:root) Type slim 2 Start GUI' {
linux /boot/slitaz/boot/bzImage lang=en kmap=en
initrd /boot/slitaz/boot/rootfs.gz
}
