After changing the UCR variable, the problem remains. Except this time: For all users it behaves like Administrator. Instead of “Login Failed” message, the system appears to proceed normally BUT returns to the Login screen.
ALSO: If I check echo $DISPLAY
it returns nothing.
FURTHER: If I login into text console as root and type startx
it works without problem and I can use the KDE gui. Just a warning is displayed that I should use X as “Administrator”,
If I do the same thing after 'su'
ing as Administrator the display just turns black with only the mouse cursor visible.
MORE: I finally decided to change the UCS-guest display driver from SPICE to CIRRUS-LOGIC-GD5446. After making this change everything works.
So I guess the probelm is with SPICE QXL drivers. BUT I need to retain spice, any suggestions.
