OK, tried the following: - boot into rescue mode - choose 'resume normal boot' - this gives me a pure text mode login, no virtual tty - login with user/passw as normal - change my password with 'passwd' (success) - reboot with sudo reboot - booted the normal way - got exactly the same situation as earlier this morning: login window resets within a second and I don't get to fill in my password
So I rebooted again and used my workaround (rescue mode, resume normal boot, login in text mode) to get in. After that I reset my password to what it was and started X (startx). After that I got into my normal desktop and everything works OK. Note: switching to a tty session will *not* work, since KMS ant ATI do not play together very well (bug 509273). cheers Tom -- lucid lynx - login screen stuck in a loop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
