Thanks for the reply. Sorry but I neglected to mention that I already set the BIOS display config to Discrete, as I'm using Windows XP on the system (XP does not properly support switchable graphics cards either, as far as I know). I do have the ATI drivers installed (I've tried without them too)

Went back to Intrepid. In doing so, I also tried booting from the live CD only a couple of times consecutively. Same issue. I was thinking to go to a 100% Ubuntu install at some point (no Windows), but with this kind of issue I don't think I can risk it! -- Ubuntu messes up my video card https

Update: I installed Jaunty today, completely reformatting and repartitioning my external HDD in the process. I still have the bug, only worse! Now when I get the kinit error, after a moment (without me touching the keyboard) the login screen vanishes, to be replaced by a messed-up Ubuntu logo. I

Not sure if I chose the right status, but the truth is that I worked out the issue. My MP3s, along with everything in My Documents on my internal HDD, were encrypted by a program called Credent Mobile Guardian. I moved them while in Windows to my external FAT32 partition, and the same program dec
