This doesn't seem to have been an issue with video drivers for me - I am
using nvidia video card and my drivers are up-to-date. I still see the
exact same behavior with the latest intrepid.
I had setup Karmic alpha on my other desktop and I just checked today to
see if the same issue happens there

that I have just the same auth.log on my regular machine working

This is not a guest only issue.
I have the same problem with the main user in a fresh installation (8.10
from Alternate CD, nothing special). I thought I had made a mistake,
maybe in my own partitioning scheme. Thus the third time I let the
installer take the whole disk (/ and swap). The result wa
