new problem with graphical login

I re-ran the rpm update for glibc with the -root flag.  It updated the rpms and everything is working mint.
The scripts did not fail this time around.  Weird...

I really appreciate your help.   You saved the day.  Plus I learned about the -root flag.

Thanks Michal.

Stop there and obviously _do not do that_!  In your description your
system is hosed, possibly due to failed change in glibc, and chroot
will fail.  You need to examine and fix your system from "outside",
i.e. from a shell on a rescue system. '--root /mnt/sysimage' option
to rpm will be helpful in this task.
