[Solved] Unable to log in (xdm), or access tty's (nVidia bug).

Ok, this is kind of long winded, but I'm really stuck on this one.
To start, I use xdm as my display manager, which I modified the appearance of (following this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDM) and then later installed xdm-archlinux.
I also installed the nvidia drivers (via pacman), which resulted in me not being able to see any of my other tty's, however at the time it didn't really bother me and I presumed it would be fixed one day anyway.
After updating (5th Feb); when I boot up I reach a black screen (presumably a broken xdm) and no way of getting into the system on an alternative tty.
I've tried starting in runlevel 3, but nvidia modules presumably are still starting and I still can't see anything.
Any ideas?

Thanks very much guys, i solved the problem.
For reference, here's how:
booted into a live disk
modified inittab to not fire up a dm
blacklisted nvidia and nvidia-utils
removed nouveau from the blacklist
rebooted
removed xdm and all settings
installed slim
logged in with eye-candy
switched nvidia and nouveau back around
reboot
job done.

  • "Unable to log in to the user account . . . "  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I have a 500 mhz PowerBook G4 that I've been using as a secondary computer since I got my MacBook Pro a few months ago. The PB has a 100gig drive with two partitions. There are 10.4.11 systems on both drives. This morning I renamed both drives in their info windows. I also opened the sharing pane in system preferences and renamed the computer from "John's-Computer" to "John's-PBG4-Computer" or something like that. (It was early and I was fooling around and thinking that I might want to share between the 3 computers we have around here and that the PB had the same name as the MacBook.)
    Well, I went to open Safari out of the dock and a question mark appeared over the icon. I tried Mail too and the same thing happened. I went back to Sharing and changed the computer's name back to it's original name. At this point, if I remember correctly, I restarted the computer, and it started up ok, showed me the Mac OSX start up pane, but then the window stating, "You are unable to log in to the user account "myname" at this time" appeared. I hit ok and the log in window came up, but of course I wasn't able to log in.
    I've searched the forums for a solution but haven't been able to solve my problem yet. A couple of things you should know: There is no other user account on this computer. And, I broke the computer's internal dvd drive two or three years ago,(tripped over the power cord an pulled it off a bedside table - ouch), so I can't boot up from the original install disc in the internal drive.
    I have tried using an external dvd drive with the install disc to boot up from as well as a start up system clone on an external hard drive by holding down the c key on start up but the PB just goes straight to the "You are unable . . ." window followed by the log in screen. I have also tried (multiple) Safe Boots and resetting the pram.
    At this point the only idea I have left is to pop out the hard drive, put it in a case and try to access the drive from my other computer. (I swapped out drives in this computer a couple of years ago so I'm not daunted by that task.)
    Do any of you have any suggestions of anything else to try before I pop open the case?
    Thanks for your help.

    Had the same issue. Restarted the server and it started working. Go figure!

  • Unable to log in to the user account [username] at this time

    My Powerbook G4 is running Mac OS X 10.4.11
    Processor: 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4
    Memory: 768 MB DDR SDRAM
    Startup Disk Macintosh HD
    Serial # 4H511OAJRJ5
    Capacity 74.4 GB
    Available: 2.3 GB
    My problems began when I had a warning message that read something like, “your startup disk is getting full. Delete some files”
    Around the same time my battery was showing signs of being spent (wouldn’t take a full charge) and would shutdown my powerbook in the middle of operation. I replaced the battery within 12 hours, rebooted, and everything seemed normal; I could log in and access all programs, files, photos, music, etc. The error message reappeared to deletes some files. I ran TechTool Deluxes and it suggested repairing my Volume Directory. There were a few suggestions in green and one in red. I accepted the ones in green and made the changes. It reopened TechTool and ran again, this time everything showed up as a “red” (drastic) directory change. I did not accept. I shut down. I rebooted, and that is when my heart sank.
    My account log in screen appeared (I have my master account and a “test” account available) and I entered my log in password. After several moments, the message “You are unable to log in to the user account [username] at this time.” I can log in to my “test” account but I have not been able to access any of my files from that account. Also, my Test account appears to be running Panther instead of Tiger; could that be? Anyway, I read some similar problem posts here and was hopeful that DiskWarrior could help restore me. I purchased and ran it successfully (at least DiskWarrior said it was a success) but I still have the same results.
    I tried to access both my caches folder and my Desktop folder from my “test” account, but these are the error messages I received:
    The folder “Caches” could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges.
    The folder “Desktop” could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges.
    I was shocked to see my Available space was only 2.5 GB. I don’t know how that can be right.
    I’m open to anything to retrieve my files – Any suggestions?

    You need to delete some file not try to repair the disk volume. but anyway...

    You need to develop a full backup plan. Get an external hd and backup to it.

    Would you be using filevault? Which would mean you need more space.

    run batcmd from an admin account to let you change permissions.
    From an administrator account enable root & be careful. This will let you look at any file on the system & delete everything!!!
    Get a new admin id.

    http://www.macchampion.com/arbysoft/Welcome.html
    As an aside, I just noticed that the button to "apply to all enclosed items' is greyed out. I started checking other folders and best I can tell, all folders on my startup volume will not allow me to apply any permission changes to all enclosed items. Think this might have something to do with the alias issue?
    I noticed that my "apply to all enclosed items' button is greyed out too. I use BatChmod fps instead.
    Get the Mac to set up an additional administrative account. You can then change the password on your old account.
    Start with your computer power off. Hold down command-s. Power on your computer.
    Type in the following:
    The first two commands will depend on your release of Mac OS X. Look at what is typed out in the console to determine the exact format.
    # Type the follow two instructions to access the startup disk in read/write. Press return after each command.
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    cd /var/db
    pwd
    #List all files. The l is a lower case L.
    ls -a
    #The move command acts as a rename command in this format.
    mv -i .applesetupdone .applesetupdone.old
    reboot
    Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

  • Unable to log in to the user account (name) at this time

    I get this error message when I try to log-in in my main admin account. And this is not a lost password issue I know im typing the write password because when I type a wrong one the box shakes when I type the right one it gives me that message.
    I tried alot of stuff to gain access to it but I cannot, the only thing that I can do is go in as root user and extract the files that I had in there, but I have no physcial access to the login it self, I started making a different account name for it but I dont want to lose all my prefrenses although I think the only thing that is making it this way is File Vault (its swtiched on for the locked out account)
    Any thoughts?

    I'm also getting the dreaded "You are unable to log in to the user account __ at this time" but believe this happened when I inadvertently tuned off an external hard drive without ejecting it first. At first, I thought it was a File Vault problem, but my user.sparseimage file is still there and accessible once I changed the permissions to those of another user account.
    What I have come to believe, based on other postings I have read on this topic, at least in my case, is that I must have corrupted the logged in user on the netinfo file. The solutions I've seen so far for fixing the netinfo file seem pretty complicated, though I do have a backup of that file.
    I have yet to decide whether the netinfo problem is easily fixable or if I would better employ my time moving my iTunes and iPhoto files off that sparse image and into another user account. I'm open to suggestions.

  • "Unable to log in to the user account"

    I'm having a problem I'm hoping one of you may have come up against and
    solved. We have two Mac OSX.4 servers - one a login server, the other
    contains the student Homes folders. Now when a student who has an account
    from last year logs in, a message says "You are unable to log in to the user
    account "username" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an
    error occurred. The home folder for the user account is located on an AFP or
    SMB server. Contact your system administrator for help."
    It seems there is a problem with the hand off from the login server to the
    data server. I can connect to the data server through Connect to Server
    while logged on as admin, so the server is accessible on line. I double-checked the Sharing info of the shared points and they are set correctly. Also, when I run Server Monitor, the stats summary for both servers says "waiting for response."
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Mike
    Server Monitor is an application that monitors XServe hardware providing feedback for the administrator. It has nothing to do with the Server Operating System. If your trying to use it on anything other than an XServe all you'll see is "Waiting for Response" all day long.
    If your hardware is an XServe then you need to use either localhost or the server's loopback address (127.0.0.1) in the name field followed by the default admin's account's password.
    +"The home folder for the user account is located on an AFP or+
    +SMB server. Contact your system administrator for help"+
    This error is usually down to (but not always) a DNS/DHCP issue or some other obscure network related issue affecting DNS. What does the logs say server and client side when the log-in fails?
    Its possible the affected user no longer exists as a principal? Does the same thing happen to this user regardless of which client computer is used? You could search the schema using dscl from a client to see if the affected user is listed in the LDAP database? Alternatively you could issue:
    sudo kadmin.local -q list_principals
    On the server itself. If the affected user is not listed but exists in WGM then review the password type. It's possible its been set to Crypt? You could delete the user and re-create the account again and re-locating the home folder and trying again. It's also possible the student's home folder has developed a problem? Does the 'jiggle' and error occur immediately or after a slight delay? Do you have a strict Password Policy in place? Sometimes problems can develop with the Password Policy (it does get logged) that affects single accounts only.
    You could try and create a completely new account and home for the affected user. Transfer the data from the old home propagate default permissions and go for a log-in again. Does it work now?
    I'm assuming the two servers in question are in a Master/Replica relationship?

  • Unable to log in to the portal - missing Directory Service?

    Hi!
    I'm unable to log in to the Management Portal, getting this error message:
    "We are having trouble logging you into the portal. Your subscription does not have an associated directory and this is preventing us from logging you in. Please contact support."
    I've tried to call Microsoft regarding this issue, each of the four times I was routed forward, given phone-numbers for Azure support and redirected, each call ended with basically the same reply "uuhhh... I don't support Azure, sir, and I don't know
    how to help you..." - Microsoft needs to inform their frontline people better!
    Anyways, at some point I was told that I have to "file a ticket" in the Azure support forums, and that a representative will call me up after. So here is the ticket, and I'm anxiously awaiting a reply.
    In case I'm not clear - I have an urgent need to access the portal, as I need to put some more assets in there, aka *you're losing money, Microsoft!* (maybe that'll get your attention.. ;) )
    Thanks in advance,

  • Unable to log in to iTunes

    I have been using the same username for my iTunes for years.  I use it on iCloud, the App Store...everything.  About a year ago, I completed an iTunes update on my Toshiba Satellite laptop and was unable to listen to any music on my iTunes after that.  Nothing would play.  I followed some "advice" on the Apple Support Communities since it was clearly an issue several people had.  The advice had quite a lengthy process which included eventually removing iTunes and reinstalling it.  I did the process step by step (which supposedly worked for others), and I was never able to log in to iTunes again.  My iPhone music still worked since I hadn't logged out of iTunes, as did my iPod (Nano, Classic, and my new Nano) since you don't log out of those.  I have since logged out of iTunes on my iPhone and I was never able to log back in and it shows that I have no music because it claims I do not have an account (though I can log in to the iCloud or App Store with my account).
    I also have a MacBook Air and an iPad Mini.  I never used my iTunes on the MacBook Air, so I have tried logging in there, and have also tried "approving" this computer for iTunes use but still...I can log into iCloud, the App Store, and have verified my account on the Apple support page (http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/) but I still get the following error:  
    I still am logged in to my iTunes on my iPad though I know if I log out, I will never be able to log in again.  It does not have all of my music on it...just some of it.  My Classic has all of my music, and my old Nano has since died.  I never got to load anything onto my new Nano.  So, I opened up a ticket with Apple and of course there was the big runaround saying I had to pay for service on my MacBook Air since it's a problem with my MacBook Air, but after much arguing, I got it through their head that it's a problem with my Toshiba, Macbook Air, iPhone, and will be with my iPad as well if I logged out of iTunes.  They finally opened a ticket and had me to talk to several people.  The last person to work on it at Apple stated she was sending it to an engineer, because even she tried logging in with the same username and password and was unable to, though she was able to log into my iCloud.  She "remoted" in to my MacBook, and could not find anything wrong either.  The last I heard from them was in June 2014 where they told me they were moving this to an engineer (after 3-hours of being on the line with them) and stated that I would receive a call back, which of course never happened.  I have called that person back several times since she had given me her extension, and she does not return my calls.  In the meantime, I have tried several times to just change my password on the account, and it changes my password on every account but I still am unable to log in to my iTunes. 
    Here are the notes I took while on the phone with them:
    June 2014:
    Case ID: 619383300
    xxx (can't remember his name...maybe Scott???  Transferred to Tim)
    Tim (iTunes. Can't see an iTunes problem. Believes this is a computer problem)
    Eric (did the sharing session. He's with "mac problems".  Immediately said I would have to get a warranty for my computer in order to receive support. I refused since I was not going to warranty my iPhone, Macbook Air, Toshiba PC, and iPad just because of an iTunes problem).  He later stated this is a problem with my internet provider, because of the blocks i have set up for my children.  I do not have blocks set up, never have, and it can't be an ISP problem because it would be an ISP problem with my UK internet, US internet, sisters, brothers, and parents ISP's as well since I have used their internet and still cannot access iTunes. Sending back to iTunes)
    Tay (iTunes Senior advisor. Sharing session. Checked Apple ID while remoted in to my computer.  Cannot see any problems.  Sending up to Engineer. Sending me a case number and personal contact number.)  I never heard back, though I was told by Tay that an engineer would contact me regarding this issue. 
    iTunes started a new case ID: 669806831 dated Sept 27, 2014         
    28 Sept: Received an email from Anand at Apple iTunes support which told me to contact Apple Support at http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 to get a phone number to call in and pay for support on my device, though it's not a device issue which has already been acknowledged previously.  iTunes support will not help me so I contacted Apple support.  They say this is an iTunes problem, not an Apple problem.  iTunes says this is an Apple problem, not an iTunes problem.
    29 Sept: Left a message with Tay who was the last one handling the original case. 
    October: Left another message with Tay who never called me back in September, or June.  I have left my phone number and original case number but she continues ignoring my calls.
    Does anyone have any advice on this?  I'm tired of sitting in a silent house because I have no music because the customer service at Apple is terrible and just blew me off.
    So far this is an issue with my Apple ID just not being able to log into iTunes on ANY computer...whether it's a Windows 7 based PC or an Apple product.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes on every product except the iPad (I don't use my iPhone anymore since it's old and I have a new phone). 

    I guess Apple decided to hiccup and I was able to log in.  This was not the first time I tried this procedure, but this is how it happened.  I was not able to log in after the export from iBooks Author.  I closed iTunes Producer and then opened it through Launchpad.  I logged in with the account that is set up for the book, selected open package, and, I'll be danged if it didn't open this time.  Unbelievable...  I don't think it is what I did.  I think Apple hiccuped or cleared her throat. 

  • Unable to log in to my account

    Hi!
    I have transferred my Home folder to a new, larger disk, then erased the original disk. (The system is on a different (SSD) disk, cloned from an earlier residence by using SuperDuper. Has worked flawless otherwise.)
    When copying (using Sync) I dragged the icons for the whole volume in the Source and Target positions of the Sync window, not just the folder.
    To erase the disk, I had to start from the system CD to unmount the OLD data disk, which I thought was not in use at all.
    There were 3 partitions on that disk, one containing my Home folder.
    Now when I try to restart, I get the message "You are unable to log in to user account <my account name> at this time … because an error occured."
    I have earlier experienced the same in an attempt to install Windows via BootCamp, see here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2803773?threadID=2803773&tstart=10
    But this time, I have not (yet) removed any drives.
    I can access everything on the Nehalem desktop machine via the MacBook Pro to which it is networked via the Internet router and from which I am writing this.
    Hoping for your help - Hening.

    It looks indeed like I should have known this on beforehand. I was not aware of that I should have used Migration Assistant. I thought it was OK to use SuperDuper to clone a startup volume.
    Now that I have messed up, the history/scenario is this:
    My system 10.6.7 and apps were on a HD, the Home folder on another HD.
    Then I bought a 40 GB SSD, cloned the startup volume on to it using Super Duper. Seemed to work fine.
    Later, I copied my Home folder to a larger HD using Sync.
    And erased the HD that had contained the old Home.
    That's when the trouble started, and I started this thread. Since I got no reply for some days, I started a new one
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3043638
    asking how to repair permissions. Later, I remembered that I CAN log into my Me account from the MacBook! So I understood that it was not the Me account that was corrupted in itself, but the connection to the new system drive.
    In the meantime, using root, I have created a new user account Me2 on the SSD so I can log in to my Mac. But I can not get access to the Apple-created folders in the old Home folder.
    The scenario I want to end up with for the future is this:
    As you advise, I will keep system, apps and Home together on the SSD - but only an "EMPTY" Home, with ALL data stored on an HD.
    Could you please guide me what to do?
    One particular problem is Mail. Mails are data that swell and may not have place on the SSD. And generally, I want to keep ALL data out of ALL these intricate procedures for ALL future...! And all in ONE place.
    Is there a mail app that I can install in the apps folder, but which will accept that the mail boxes are installed on the data drive, and accessible all independent of all this permissions stuff, just like any other file? Thunderbird? I will try.
    But first I need to get access to the mails which are already stored in my Me1 account...And right now I discover that from the new account, I can not access my data on the external data backup disk either!! So I absolutely need to get access to my Me1 account.
    Sigh!

  • Unable to log in to user account after installing windows 7 using Bootcamp

    Hi everyone,
    I need help. I have been at it for days, I have googled every which way but I am not able to fix this. Basically my problem is that I am unable to log in to my user account after I used Bootcamp to install windows 7. I will explain what I did up until I couldn't log in.
    I backed up my user account using Time Machine(I was logged in as the user). The account had FileVault activated and I neglected to disable FileVault before back up. I just didn't think to, it did not even occur to me! Then I partitioned Macintosh HD, I was doing this with my step son and he thought we were supposed to partition the hard drive first before running Bootcamp! After that was done, I couldn't run Bootcamp because obviously we had whipped the HD clean! Anyway, I reinstalled the OS X using the internet, after which I run Bootcamp and successfully installed windows 7. Then I went on to restore my account using Time Machine, only when I try to log in I get the error message "you are unable to log in to the user account at this time". I tried every possible solution I could find on here, including creating a new admin account, deleting the old account but saving the user folder and then routing the new account to the old user folder. Still nothing. I have tried logging in as a root user, reset the master password and deleted FileVault files from Library/keychain in the hope I would access the user account, but to no avail. What's more is that I can't even see the sparse bundle or sparse image files that people keep referring too. I can't even find it on the Time Machine back up! I then thought I would cut my losses and try system recovery using Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery (cost me £81) but it did not recover any of my photos, music, videos or documents.
    I honestly can't come to terms with the fact that I am unable to login to an account with 3 years worth of pictures and documents. I am having a hard time letting go. Is there anyway possible to crack this?
    Thank you in advance.
    By the way, I am running Mountain Lion OX 10.8.4 on MacBook mid 2010

    I have this exact problem. Installed Bootcamp on a networked iMac running Mountain lion and and can no longer log in to my Mac user account. Would love if any of the pro users on here can shed a bit of light.

    Hello!
    It looks like your system is configured for ticket authentication. As you did a system copy the SSO-ticket might not be working anymore. If this is the case you need fix the SSO or you need to re-configure your Portal (at least temporarily) to allow other authentication methods (like basic password authentication).
    You can configure the order of the authentication methods in VisualAdmin and set the 'levels' (Required/Sufficient/etc.) there as well.
    Hope this helps,
    Jörg
