For the last four weeks i haven't been able to access my Kubuntu graphic environment.

After loging in this page appears for about one second

after that the login screen appears again with no sign of an error (be it a wrong password etc...).

When trying to log into the console there's no problem, but starting x from the console results in this error

What I've already tried:

  • reinstalling kde-desktop-environment
  • installing and changing from lightdm to kdm and back
  • checking all .Xauthority files and chown them to my account
  • reinstalling xterm
  • reinstalling xserver-xorg

none of the above worked.

What i did before the error occured:

  • installed some canonical&partner updates
  • added a script to autostart

Thanks for your help!

About the error in the first screen (/etc/rc2.d/S99tpb: tpb: not found ) reinstall IBM thinkpad buttons software or remove softlink "S99tpb" from /etc/rc2.d

About the second screen (and the question in the subject line):

1) The script that you added to autostart has to be removed first (because it is probably the reason for this behaviour).

2) post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log

3) post the script that you added to autostart

What I want you to do next:

Uninstall virualbox for the time being

add a new user from scratch and log in as that user and tell me if that works okay.
