Fresh install - can log in as root. Can't log in as user 18 February 2025, 21:14:23 Hi all, Fresh install on my laptop. I can log in as root, plasma loads up no problem. Can't load up the desktop as user. Changed my user password. Still no good. ctrl+alt+f1 I can log in as user. Still can't log in with the desktop. I'm a linux noob, what am I missing here? Thanks, VM
