Installed Ubuntu using WUBI, when I reboot, I'm able to login as "Failsafe GNOME" and xterm, but NOT as just GNOME. What is the likely source of the issue? Hardware, bad install, etc.?
- Version: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (Lucid Lynx)
- WUBI (on Windows XP Pro SP3, basically all updates)
- HARDWARE: PowerSpec 6245, Processor: AMD Athlon™ XP processor 2800+
When I login as GNOME, it takes the username/password, then screen goes black for 1-second, then flashes back to the login. At first I thought I forgot the admin password, but figured out I was able to login as xterm, then as Failsafe GNOME.
Any suggests? Thanks!
UPDATE (1):
From Failsafe, I'm able to change the default screen size/Hz (which is correct for the monitor) to 800x600, and then login as GNOME. If I change it back to the default via GNOME, I'm not able to login.
UPDATE (2):
Posted a follow up question focus on possible WUBI resource conflicts here. And info on a strange issue related to how changing the screen background results in the same pattern of the login failing.
UPDATE (3):
Given up on Ubuntu, don't have time for this, would delete the question, but there's too many answers. So, I'll just leave it unanswered.
