With the new version of parrot 4.16. I have been running into login issues. After after passing the hard-drive encrypted password. I end up at the login menu. I try to login, and it attempts to launch a new window, but it seems to fail and resolve back to login menu. I know it is the correct password. I also see that it tells me password incorrect when I input an incorrect password.
The weird thing analyzed is:
If I first login into Windows 10, then restart and login into Parrot, I don’t run into this issue and it logins in fine. This seems to be the only workaround to by pass the login menu loop.
It is important to mention that I have a nvidia GTX graphics card on the laptop. I’m also wondering if there have been any changes with parrot from 3.11 to 4.16. Something with lightdm, GDM3, etc? How do I know which one I have?
Thanks in advance!
What version of Parrot are you running? (4.16)
What method did you use to install Parrot? (USB-Parrot Image)
Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes, but separate hard-drive)
You are using dual boot so maybe it’s a problem with the mount system. Just a guess only. I would change the password, check for any error in logs if not just reinstall.
Pls, I have login loop(it returns back to login page instead of desktop) with my linux. The first time I experienced it, I reinstalled the Os and now it happened once again. I’ve been trying to fix it, all to no avail. I want to solve the problem instead of avoiding it by OS re-installation.
The problem started after my laptop was forced to shutdown at a critical battery level.
Attempt so far: startx works for root not user user .Xauthority is rw new display mode install, lightdm reconfiguredrestarted. new user created, yet can’t getin to desktop except root update, upgrade didn’t solve it.
Dualboot with win10
ParrotSec 4.6 installed GTK graphical
I also have similar problem, I tried reinstalling lightdm, installing other login managers, changing ownership for .Xauthority and .ICEauthority, I even just gave all permissions, startx command works and gets me in GUI easily but I want a permanent solution. I reinstalled parrot two times after upgrading the same problem occurs. Please help
// below is the .xsession I don’t know how it helps but just for the sake of confirmation
