Hi rerivero,

I seem that your home directory is wrong "/".

Go to tty1 (use ctrl + alt + F1), login as root.

Edit /etc/passwd and check line that user have /home/{user} and not / for home directory

Example: shann:x:1000:1000:Shann,,,:/home/shann:/bin/bash

Check that /home/{user} exist and have right permission (ls -l /home).

Formely:

drwxr-xr-x [xx] {user} {user} /home/{user}

If not, type chown {user}. /home/{user} -R && chmod 755 /home/{user}

Logout root and try to connect.

hi shann

by an error in a script had changed root permissions 755 to 700. Modified root permissions everything returned to normal.

Thanks
