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!
