Cannot Login to user account after snapshot crashed
I am posting this from my root account as last night I ran mx snapshot and it crashed. I xkilled the programme and logged out as normal. Trying to login to the user account the system just cycled back to the login screen. Any help please.

Re: Cannot Login to user account after snapshot crashed
did you run out of space on the home partition? that's kind of what it sounds like.
fromt he root account, try removing the /home/snapshot folder.

Re: Cannot Login to user account after snapshot crashed
No had plenty of space on the home folder. I have removed the snapshot folder but still cannot login.

Perhaps try to create another user running mx-user,
and check whether you can login with the new user?

Re: Cannot Login to user account after snapshot crashed
Yes no trouble creating new user and logging in. I have a snapshot usb from a couple of weeks ago, is it worth just re-installing that? If I do that there is an option on the installer to change the language from US but I cannot get it to hold.fehlix wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 11:42 amDid have rebooted the system?Fornhamfred wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 9:13 am No had plenty of space on the home folder.

Re: Cannot Login to user account after snapshot crashed
And you have rebooted?
What "language from US " is that?Fornhamfred wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 12:04 pm I have a snapshot usb from a couple of weeks ago, is it worth just re-installing that?

I assume as this is a snappshot, the lang setting with the snappshot takes over.
Give us more details, to reduce guessing...

Re: Cannot Login to user account after snapshot crashed
Default setting is US English I want UK English, but from your previous comment the language setting in the snapshot UK English should be fine . Do you think it is better to re-install or continue trying to solve the problem?fehlix wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 12:12 pmAnd you have rebooted?

Re: Cannot Login to user account after snapshot crashed
Not sure what's wrong with the other user account. I would probably use the new user,Fornhamfred wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 12:29 pm ..Do you think it is better to re-install or continue trying to solve the problem?
and clean up / remove the other user and try to creat a snapshot again.
After such a crash it's not always easy to find the reason .

Re: Cannot Login to user account after snapshot crashed
In theory yes. But You have to logg-in as another user to to this.Fornhamfred wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 12:48 pm Thanks. Can I copy the home account from my user to the new user?
Just try it out,and see how it goes. Use MX User within MX tools, for that.
