Hi,
Thanks, it's Gnome, and I'm stuck when I login as root.
By using Putty, I managed to create a new user, and then I tried to login to desktop(using nomachine) as that user, and yes, it works. The problem now is that I stuck when I login as the root.
Then, I compared the runlog (the one I wrote in that previous email), between the root's and the new user's and, they're the same.
Then, I compared the sshlog, and I found discrepancies. In the sshlog of the root, there are some additional lines saying unable to open a file and unable to start the sesion:
===
NX> 285 Identified internal connection
NX> 285 Using default mode encrypted
NX> 285 Identified options: nx/nx,options=/cygdrive/C/Users/EONSTR~1/NX73F8~1/S-8728~1.ORG/options:1000

I checked the permission of that var/lib/nxserver/ (and folders (including /db/running/ ) and files inside it), the permission is 0700 (read,write,execute enabled for the owner), with the group is root and owner is the nx. And yes, also using the root I can view the content of the var/lib/nxserver. If I login using that new user, I can't view the content.
Oh,yeah, pressing start and leaving for few hours don't solve the problem.
Checking the .bash_history file, these are the commands I issued around the time when I messed up :
===
useradd aaa
useradd --help
useradd abc
passwd aaa

useradd -d /home/aaaa/ -p aaaaaa aaa

Thanks.

I am not in front of a machine with the nxclient on it, I will be in the
morning and can see what some of the logs look like there; however, the
ling concerning automatic reconnect to true makes me think the device is
attempting to start up a session that doesn't exist. I can't prove that,
but I will have more information tomorrow.
Concerning your screen shot, I've only ever been stuck at that screen
once and simply hitting enter at the keyboard made it vanish. The splash
screen should time out anyhow once the start up stuff times out if
gnome/kde/xfce's initialization routine takes too long.
What desktop (window manager?) are you using? Is it Gnome, KDE or
something else? I've not seen selinux create an issue, but for posterity
is it running? Does it log anything on the system you're attempting to
connect with? Oh, what about permissions for the user? Does the user
have the ability to write to his/her home directory properly? You could
be getting stuck on the splash screen because the user can't write any
data for the initialization.
Sincerely,
Alex White
