  • I can't sign in as regular user, only as root

    Posted on

    Hello,

    yesterday I added some packages in software like Red Hat Ansible Engine, Extra Packages for RHEL 8, Satellite, Developer Tools, CodeReady Linux Builder, ...
    Afterwards I got shown several issues during DNF Update.
    Meanwhile, I can't sign in to my local user account. Then I tried it with "Not listed" at username. I entered root and the password to it. Finally, I got sign in.
    How can I fix the other user account?
    I added another user account, removed the software packages I added hours before. NOW, I have access with a standard user, but not my regular account, I usually use.
    How to change it?
    That's the messge when I use sudo dnf update:

    dnf update
    Updating Subscription Management repositories.
    /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dateutil/parser/_parser.py:70: UnicodeWarning: decode() called on unicode string, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1693751
    instream = instream.decode()
