Openserver 6 Graphical Login
A customer had some crashes caused by a Raid issue. The Graphical Login has stopped working ie you can enter username and password then the screen clears as if it is about to display the desktop but reverts back to the graphical login again. This has been tried with both the root and other logins.
The normal text based logins work correctly.
Apart from going back to backups and reinstalling the complete root OS does anyone know what could be causing the issue.

Many Thanks

Stuart

Probably a missing file. You could re-install just X-Windows using custom, but the safest solution is to do a restore. You really don't know if this is the only error in the file system or not.
