greetings to all.
centos = 6.8 current system = toshiba l455d-s5976 laptop
a new problem has developed after 1st updating of 6.8.
regular user is not able to open kde desktop, can open gnome desktop.
root user can open either kde or gnome desktop.
as a user, when i try to open kde, after entering password, screen goes to a solid blue, then shows a quick full screen view of command line text, too quick to read, then screen changes back to login prompt.
logged in as root, i created a second user, still have same results as above.
searching thru 2+ years of local archives revealed nothing, nor does web searching.
any advise, recommendation, suggestion appreciated.

Hello
If it works for root and not for users, it seems a permissions problem
I'd try:
chown -R username.username /home/username
Hope it helps
good morning jtj.
thank you for replying.

first checking was owner and permissions.
from /home, user owns and mod is 'drwx------'. users 'home' has both 'drwx------' and 'drwxrwxr-x' with files of both '-rwx------' and '-rwxr--r--'.

information i was asked for is collected, but i am having problem finding a text file storage site that allows viewing instead of downloading. i thought i had bookmarked such, but seems i may have not restored bookmarks for such sites when i rebuilt this box.

I noticed the same problem on a friend's laptop (though I hadn't tried logging in as root). I was in a hurry so couldn't investigate much, but I downgraded xorg-x11-server-common and xorg-x11-server-Xorg to their previous versions and the problem was gone. Does "yum downgrade xorg-x11-server-common xorg-x11-server-Xorg" solve it for you?
hello Nicolas,
thank you for your reply.

yes does.
users are now able to open kde desktop without getting dropped back out.
still no idea of cause, but for now system will be running with x11 downgraded.
being that your friend and i are only 2 reported cases of problem, i do not feel that it is worth filing a bug report.
tho i am having a problem with my mid tower having dropped in speed after fresh install of 6.8, it may be because it is about 10 yro and problem is with hardware. not something i am going to worry about for not because i will be retiring it next month with an amd quad system.
i am most appreciative for your reply and solution.
Nicholas, hello again.
while checking thru old emails to archive, noted that i did not update you on your downgrade solution.
seems solution was a one shot deal.
ran an update before last one with new kernel, had same problem of user unable to login.
dropped to cl ran downgrade, back to gui login, failed again.
presuming that problem was with fact that i was not able to downgrade to 'xorg-x11-*' that my user configs were setup for, so i logged in as user root, renamed active home directory, set up user geo again and rebuilt new user geo from a lot of old configs.
after latest update with latest kernel, all is still working.
what caused problem, not sure, but i am presuming that it may have been because i was trying to use configs for an earlier revision and they will not work.
thanks again.
