I am using Ubuntu 11.10 which was working fine till today.
If I try to login using one of my user accounts it directs me back to the login screen, which is followed by a black screen.
I am sure the password I enter is correct because if the password is wrong it prompts "Invalid Password".
On the other hand I am able to login using a root or guest account.

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.
Good afternoon,
I recently updated my 10.04 release and then had a problem with the graphics card so I updated a little more and now have 12.04 which I'm fine with except that when I get to the login screen I can login as a guest and a secondary accout I have, but not as the main, administrator account.
Thanks in advance for any help. Ubuntu 12.04
Up until recently my mother has been using the Guest Session when she logs on; now, the Guest Session will not login.
When I boot Ubuntu, I enter my pass but then I see a blank screen and then I'm thrown back into the login screen. I am able to only access the guest account. I am using 11.10 (unity). Also, during my few hours running Ubuntu, it would occasionally crash and throw me back to the login screen, only now I cant login back anymore.
When I attempt to log into my account the screen goes black and then falls back to the login screen. I have pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 and was able to log in from there, however when I tried startx I got an error from x.org (I will try to write it down in a minute). The guest account works flawlessly so I am currently logged into that and created a temporary admin account through the settings panel.
Hello!
I´ve been using Ubuntu 11.10 for a couple of months without any problem. However i´m now unable to log in. It happened after i installed Sophos Antivirus. The system got awfully slow after the installation so i tried to shut my laptop down. The system then refused to shut down (nothing happened) so i performed a hard reset.
When I try to start as admin using my password. In next screen only my wallpaper is shown nothing else even no navigation or any button. On the other hand, when I login as a guest it works fine.
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 version. Can anybody help me how to resolve this issue.
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.
