However, none of them worked, not even the default (Fedora Live). For the two accounts I wanted to add, the error message was unable to authenticate user I even selected other and tried to use root but got the same result. When I tried the default, the screen changed as if it was logging in, but it returned to the login screen without any error reporting. Are there any other ideas? It seems to me that at least the default should work.
