Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Upgraded from Ubuntu 8.10 to Jaunty via Synaptic automatic upgrade.Not able
even to login: the system generates "5" in the login window every second, so,
I am not able to write the password within this interval between two generated
"5"-s, the result is "Wrong password". I had the same problem when I upgraded
from Ubuntu 6 to Ubuntu 8.04; then there has appeared Ubuntu 8.10, to which
I've upgraded and which was free from this problem. 8.10 ---> 9.04 has given
birth to it again.
To overcome this problem I've added into the /boot/grub/menu.lst after the line
## ## End Default Options (I've inserted "root (hd1,0)" in 2nd line ##
the following:
title Ubuntu 8.15, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic
root (hd1,0)
uuid c2970882-feee-4b3b-9ea5-80b3148f1356
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic
root=UUID=c2970882-feee-4b3b-9ea5-80b3148f1356 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic
savedefault
quiet
title Ubuntu 8.14, kernel 2.6.27-14-generic
root (hd1,0)
uuid c2970882-feee-4b3b-9ea5-80b3148f1356
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-14-generic
root=UUID=c2970882-feee-4b3b-9ea5-80b3148f1356 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-14-generic
savedefault
quiet
and was forced to choose booting from second line
(Ubuntu 8.14, kernel 2.6.27-14-generic).
Then I was able to login, but I've got next problem
"HPLIP Status Service fails - no system tray detected"
What should be done?
