Iam a total newbie to Ubuntu . I installed Cinnamon through terminal . The problem is that when i boot up, if i don't enter the password before 1 or 2 minutes the password field will freeze and won't accept any text inputs.The problem was most likely caused by Cinnamon because i guess the problem started after i tried to install some Cinnamon extensions. Please answer in non-technical way as far as possible. I will never go back to Windows whatever be the outcome. Help me stay on to Ubuntu.

Yes, this problem is due to the Cinnamon and you have to remove the cinnamon completely from your system.To do that ,open terminal and type this:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove cinnamon

Thanks, i remove it completely. The problem is gone but the log in takes too long. After entering password and hit enter key it takes a while to log in – UbuntuLover Nov 21 '12 at 9:13
