Slim wont accept password
Package installs... If slim wont accept your password::
That is it simply keeps resetting to the login prompt.
Check system dbus is running::
service dbus status
(or whatever your using)
Check you have not slipped around a dependency which may happen if you have "extra" (non devuan repositories)
** * cough* *debian* *ubuntu* **
Certainly this could catch you if you use experimental or unstable (ceres) / you know that those names are no accident
$ sudo apt-get update
$ apt-get install slim --reinstall
(optionally -t ascii or testing)
If slim is built with dbus you have to have dbus AND consolekit.
$ apt-cache depends slim
