I'm having problems with loggin in on Ubuntu 11.04. I did an install on my laptop after I had Windows 7 installed (dual boot with grub). All went well, but when I am about to login on Ubuntu it gives a short flashing error. Which is unreadable because it flashes.

I'm sure it isn't a wrong password because i can login with Ctrl+alt+f1.

Does anyone have the same problem or knows a fix for it?

    Errors regarding logging into the desktop are logged in the file .xsession-errors in your home directory. Have a look in there after you login with control-alt-f1 (with more /home/{your_loginname}/.xsession-errors)

    Add it to your question ;) and did you try to start gnome as root perhaps?

have you installed any gtk dev packages recently? this looks like a deprecated version error, or it's a problem with emerald. Try changing your theme. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling glib, something like this: sudo aptitude install glib should list the availible packages for install, or wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/2.30/glib-2.30.1.tar.bz2 then build from source or use aptitude. If it still doesn't work after that than post the full /.xsession-errors file
