Re: I have to log in twice

As I mentioned in the thread about trying to manage without an n key,
I created another account for myself. In the process, I made some
mistakes and first created the user with adduser, then deleted the
entry from /etc/passwd in emacs and then created the user again.
That might have something to do with the fact that, when I log in to
the new account, I give the user name and password under Gnome and
then, the screen goes black and then a moment later the login box
appears again. When I give the user name and passwd the second time,
it accepts it and lets me in. It's possible that I still haven't gotten
used to the new user name and password and always get it wrong the first
time I try to log in, but it seems more likely that the way I created the
new account with adduser, deleted it with emacs and recreated it with adduser
have resulted in my always having to log in twice.

How might I fix this?
