If I click "Cancel" the screen locks, and the only thing I can do is restart, by clicking on the "power" button in the lower right corner. If I click "Logout anyway", it continues to logon. If I do nothing the log on continues within a few seconds. It appears to only happen after boot. If I logout and log back in, it does not occur. Let me know if there are any logs that will help? Edit: It only happens on original boot. It does not happen on logout/login, or on a restart, only on a complete shutdown/restart.
