So I Purged all the Nvidia drivers/updates/etc now login from Main login Screen only allows Root to get a desktop manager which is lightdm, ive reconfigured the xorg.conf and lightdm.conf all back to standard. But It wont let me login as my non-root user. it just lags for about 1 minute and returns to the login screen. Login as Root no issues. using a console terminal I tried su - non-rootuser and then ran starx and again when I see my desktop manager, I'm loged in as Root again!?
This is the only thing close to a nightmare ive ever had using Linux. Why dosent Debian support Nvidia 1050/1050ti GPU's? it supports the GTX980ti and the TitanX then jumps to GTX1060-1070-1080 cards? Maybe im missing something?
what logs and commands do you guys need the output from to help me troubleshoot this because im lost?
Although I'm realizing when Linux Breaks, Your learn tons about Linux, which is the only bonus to this and incentive to continue
I tried dpkg-reconfigure lightdm.
also #/usr/sbin/lightdm --show-config
