Title: Stuck in login loop
Post by: Mitch33 on March 03, 2024, 05:04:04 PM
Hi, so my issue started with trying to install a flatpak, logged in as root in the terminal and did not logout after, closed laptop and when I went to get back on this morning it was stuck in the root account entirely upon booting. I logged out to the login screen and when i type in my user and password, it shows a black terminal-like screen for a few seconds and then goes back to the login screen, just keeps looping every time i try to log in unless i type the root user and password, then it opens the desktop but under root. I tried googling for a few hours now and havent been able to figure it out, im running sparky gameover edition on an old chromebook.
