Hello!
I'm new here!

My problem is i just installed raspbian and updated it, added a user and passwd for it.
But cant get the new account to work with the startx command.
the background and the trashbin shows, but the menu bar is a white line that flickers up and down so i can't do anything except pulling the plug and log in with the pi account.

I have tried to reinstall raspbian and rebooted it but nothing!

any suggestions?

My plan was to get rid of the pi account altogether to make it more secure.

best regards!

You need to add your new id to the video and audio groups.

The pi userid is normally connected to

Code: Select all

pi@saturn ~ $ groups
pi adm dialout cdrom sudo audio video plugdev games users netdev i2c input indiecity spi gpio
pi@saturn ~ $
