Re: [K12OSN] Random logouts, inability to log in

[Julius Szelagiewicz <julius turtle com>]

Dear Folks,
	this is the continued saga of an upgrade from hell. K12 v.4,
yesterday I've have started experiencing user logouts. To make things
worse, today i have a number of users that can't log in. The symptom is
that after password is entered and validate, the screen goes black and a
new login screen appears. I did notice that the ~/.gconf directory is
gone, recreating it did not help. I am at a real loss. the system is
very lightly loaded. here is the applicable log trace:

shelli by (uid=0)
