I got my laptop battery accidently disconnected, while the laptop was suspended to RAM. And now I'm experiencing these problems: When I'm trying to login to the system using sddm or kdm: after I enter my password - I'm getting mouse cursor and default wallpaper displayed and nothing happens after that.

It doesn't matter if I'm trying to login to kde or to TWM.

I've created a new user to test whether is it related to some user settings. It's not. The same thing happens for a new user.

I can login to the tty console.

I can perform startx and startkde with root credentionals and kde works just fine.

But if I'm performing startx with standart user credentionals - twm starts and then my laptop ignoring any input (besides power button).

My ~/.xsession-errors contains only the following line:

sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

I've already done fsck.

Do you have any idea what I'm dealing with here?

UPD:

Some (probably relevant) info from journalctl. After the login attempt with sddm, I'm getting:

dbus: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.login1': timed out sddm-helper: pam_systemd(sddm:session): failed to create session: connection timed out

  • When you say that your laptop ignores any input, does that include Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to a different console? Before rebooting, press [Alt+SysRq+U](http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/39854) to improve the chances that the log file will be written out, then use Alt+SysRq+B to reboot if it works. After rebooting, post the content of `/var/log/Xorg.0.log` from the attempt that crashed. If you can arrange it, log into your laptop from another machine with SSH and see if it still responds when the console is frozen. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Apr 08 '15 at 21:25
  • I mean **any**, including Ctrl+Alt+F1. Well, I've solved the main problem, so I think this is irrelevant for now, but thank you anyway for your suggestions. – Stvad Apr 10 '15 at 10:42

It was quite counterintuitive for me, but reinstalling sudo and editing sudoers file helped.
