Unable to Login after Installation

    Hi,

    I just installed R3 on my netbook, and had a good deal of fun with the livecd (via USB). However, for whatever reason, I'm unable to login using lxdm with either the user I created during installation, nor the guest account.

    I'm relatively new to linux, but am willing to go through the command line to fix the lxdm config file to solve this, if indeed that's what must be done.

    Any suggestions as to how to resolve this issue?

    Thanks!

    Update:

    I was able to log into the command line and edit the /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf file to autologin for my user. Sending this from my newly installed wattos netbook!
    Happy New year!

    Thanks Kai...So I am tracking this as a known issue. When setting autologin on install it does not seem to work and you change the lxdm.conf as you know. But I was able to still login with valid credentials, just not automagically. Once I edited the file then autologin worked fine....but you were not able to use valid creds...mmm...I will do some more testing....tks...biff

    If partition with Watt OS installed run out of space login does not work, I had the same problem, so I resize the partition
