Ubuntu Desktop

[Harihara Vinayakaram]

Hi
I know this is not really a Puppet question . I have a set up where
I install a base system, create a user (firstuser) using puppet and
things are fine. Some time down the line I install the ubuntu-desktop
which installs its own set of packages

But I am not able to login as firstuser when the machine comes
back. How do I enable gnome login for users already created . A new
user added user adduser also is not able to login using the graphical
window .

Regards
Hari

Taking a shot in the dark really, but probably you need to specify gnome-specific groups(probbaly gdm etc) & previliges for that particualr user ?

Are you sure the user account is not deactivated? I ran into this issue
one time because I used puppet to create the account, but didn't set the
password.

Just for FYI sake if, may help someone that stumbles across this thread.  On ubuntu at least, desktop users must have a uid > 1000 to be able to login to the desktop via gnome.
