Public bug reported: I am having a problem on my iBook G4 running Lu 14.04.1 . . . after running a recent update/upgrade with only 3 or 4 items listed, "dbus" was one I remember . . . screen went black . . . tried to do something in TTY console to "restart" . . . then wound up shutting down. On reboot the lightdm window loads, when I add my user password, the screen goes black, then the lightdm window loads again . . . . Using "guest" to log in gets me into a GUI that works . . . but I can't log in as the original admin/user.
Booted into "recovery" and ran through the dpkg & fsck & network enabling . . . a few times, there were numerous errors that showed up . . . the user login problem was not fixed . . . . Pursuing this issue on the launchpad "questions" forum has given me some things to try out, including creating a new user, which I can log into and "sudo" with . . . the original user will not log into GUI, only a TTY. I would like to be able to use the original admin user account, as the default account.
