[SOLVED] Fedora 16 kicks back to login

[oboedad55]

Hi, I'm running Fedora 16 x86_64 with Gnome shell. My first attempt at login kicks me back to the login. My second attempt succeeds. Any ideas?

Edit: OK, never solved this with F16 but a flawless upgrade to F17 fixed this issue. Thanks to everyone who responded!

Hey, this exactly happened with me also. (Fedora16_64 bit). I was using autologin. Then i changed to password login. It reqires entering of password two times. Some messages regarding lsb is there. I changed back to autologin.

Can you find any record of the unsuccessful login in /var/log/secure or /var/log/messages?

It's happening with the new kernel (for me, at least). Here's the results of /var/log/secure:

May 23 11:56:20 localhost gdm-welcome][1185]: pam_unix(gdm-welcome:session): session opened for user gdm by (uid=0)

And, here's a bugzilla already in play: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823098 Not getting anywhere so far.

BTW, as commented in bugzilla, prior kernel also has the same issues now, so it's not the kernel. And, if I let the login screen sit for a minute or two before entering my password, it succeeds on the first attempt.
