Hi, I just setup a new 5.4 install, which went fairly well. I added some accounts - I used adduser to do one account, and logged on as the user OK. The other account was created when I installed gdm as the display manager. On rebooting the root password is missing, the user account I created is also gone (but the home directory and files are still there). gdm won't start, complaining that the gdm user doesn't exist. I recreated the user again but it vanished after the next boot. Does anyone know what might cause these account changes to be lost? Sorry i= f this has been answered already, I couldn't find anything on Google or mailing lists. Thanks Jarrod
