Hi all
Next issue is with Slim; I get this everytime I boot on my Inspiron 3800; no other OS on here, no separate home partition, no other window managers other than Openbox.
I can login using [c]CTRL+ALT+Backspace[/c].
Currently, I am using 3.0 cooking version;
Any thoughts?

Execute
#/etc/init.d/slim start
When it is ok then
#startx
And in case of necessity report the trouble here! ;-)

Thanx;
The error I receive is [c]Slim: stale lockfile found, removing it[/c]

Hello.
i have installed the 4.0 RC1 on VB with the same login problem.
#/etc/init.d/slim start does not work for me. i have removed "slim.lock" but no luck.
The only way to start is being root and the old "root" passwd or my root password is useless for anything anyway.
This is a severe show stopper, i hope it gets fixed soon.
Thanks.

Hi TanKe,
which one of the 2 available iso-files did you use? The first ,,offer" or the second one?

If michael's advice doesn't work and your actually running the command he gave you with # included, then of course it won't work... Run it without the #...

michael: Downloaded the image from distrowatch.
Trixar: yes, i did it without #. What it says is that slim is root only and i has no access to slim.lock so i did remove slim.lock manually but was useless.
I have managed to startx being root without slim but the admin passwords were useless too.

What filesystem is slitaz installed on?
If it's fat32 or ntfs reformat to ext3 and reinstall slitaz
This should fix slim login.

@mojo
Its already ext3; this HD is a linux only HD

Check the /home folder of the user's account slim is failing to log into.
This is /home/tux from slitaz4-rc1 :
Does the .Xauthority file exist and do the user/permissions match this:
tux@slitaz:~$ ls -la .Xauthority
-rw------- 1 tux users 51 Feb 25 14:50 .Xauthority
Offline
Is the installer mixing the tux user with the new one created during installation?
Sorry fo my english.

@Mojo;
Yessir, it matches.

Slim: stale lockfile found, removing it
Try to stop slim: #/etc/init.d/slim stop
Verify slim is not running: pgrep slim
If it's still running: #pkill slim
If /var/lock/slim.lock then #rm slim.lock
Delete #/var/run/slim.auth
Restart slim: #/etc/init.d/slim start
If it's still broken either reinstall or provide this info:
What did you install,modify,update before it broke?
Which version of slitaz,frugal or full install or upgrade.
Are you trying to login to the default unmodified tux account or is it a new account.
Copy/paste /var/log/slim.log at pastebin.com and post the link.

Ok, here's the link
http://pastebin.com/b77ykXDX
Slitaz Linux kernel 2.6.30.6 (stable). Full install.
I don't remember what I installed prior to this issue occuring.

This error may be related to login failure:
/home/xoanan/.xinitrc: line 44: syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
.xinitrc is generated by tazx
There should be a good copy in /etc/skel
#cp /etc/skel/.xinitrc /home/xoanan
#chmod 644 /home/xoanan/.xinitrc
#chown tux.tux /home/xoanan/.xinitrc
Check /home/xoanan/.config/slitaz/applications.conf
Should match /etc/slitaz/applications.conf
Change:
WINDOW_MANAGER="openbox"
to
WINDOW_MANAGER="openbox-session"
#chmod 644 /home/xoanan/.config/slitaz/applications.conf
#chown tux.tux /home/xoanan/.config/slitaz/applications.conf

[c]./applications.conf[/c] does match; [c] ./.xinitrc[/c] is present in [c]home/xoanan/[/c] but not in [c]/etc/skel[/c]
