http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi, I have a problem logging back in to an X session. Only the very first (after bootup) login screen is diplayed. When I log in and later loggout the X login screen never comes back on. The screen stays blank/black. Technicaly I can "blindly" login to an X session again because the machine normaly runs, but I cannot see the X login screen. I have to reboot to achieve it. Switching to a text console (CTRL+ALT+1,2,3 ..) works as I do not use the framebuffer. I have used to run Fedora Core 6 where this kind of problem never occured to me on the same machine. Facts: Mach (HowTos)

Hi

This question is usually responded to with "Liveuser does not need a password".

Well believe it or not in some configuration it is not possible to go passed the login screen of Fedora 11 or 12 KDE.

If you just hit enter which should work, it goes black with a blue flasy thing and then back to the login screen.

Friends--

Lubuntu 12.04 fresh install. I login from the computer. I then login via ssh from another computer. When the first session screen locks after X minutes, my ssh session is killed or at least locked. When I go back to the physical machine and login, then I can continue my ssh session. How can I shut off this behavior so my ssh session is not interrupted?

i update the source and restart the machine. then i can not into the Login screen.the screen is black and back light is on. how can i get the bootup log? someone has the same problem?

I am unable to get past the login screen. It won't accept passwords, the screen momentarily goes black, and then returns to the login screen.

I recently found out that you can use CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch from the login screen to the command line. My password works in that situation and I was able to enter terminal mode.

I typed in "startx" to see what would happen.

On my FC 17-65 XFCE Spin system with noveau video driver, the following problem has cropped up:

I boot and login as an ordinary user. The XFCE desktop appears. I click the mouse on something and the desktop vanishes. Instead of the desktop I see the printing from the last text boot screen. Usually the login screen reappears, but sometimes I just stay stalled on the text screen.

Hello,I am having a problem with a what I'll call a "delayed" black screen on a bare arch install.  Briefly, my machine is a sony VPCCW17FX, with an nvidia 210m graphics card.The problem is this: I start the machine, select the arch option from GRUB, boot, and it loads fine.  I'm brought to a login tty, where I login either with a user account I created with a chroot

12.04.2 update problems 16 weeks 1 day ago

I'm having problems with the update to 12.04.2 (x64).

I ran the updates and rebooted the machine. It started backup in TTY1 (I've had this happen before no biggy) so I hit Ctrl+Alt+F7 and got nothing. So I logged in, typed startx and it somewhat worked. I got my mouse and my desktop background and nothing after that.

My computer crashed earlier this evening, I think it was somewhat overheated and shut itself down. After this, I can no longer log into Ubuntu.

This is certainly not game-changing or life-altering, but a question about Ubuntu has been nagging at me.

Why is it that when a user locks the screen (or the screen is locked due to inactivity), the machine doesn't simply go straight to the login screen. The little dialogue that is shown has nothing to offer that the login screen doesn't have.
