Stories similar to [ubuntu] Stuck at login screen

I recently upgraded to Fedora 18..I'm using gnome.. If I lock the screen, I cannot unlock it easily..

That is, I enter my password, click login.. The login button gets grayed out, and nothing.. It just waits. See attached photo: This is what happens after I click login..

Update: I found a weird work-around: I clicked suspend on that login screen. Nothing happened..

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.

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.

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.

I have been using Ubuntu 12.04 for a few months now, but have now come across a problem that I can't get past.

I am stuck at the log on screen: I enter my password but a black screen flashes up and the log on prompt reappears.

I tried using the terminal and I actually have managed to login- but not using the main log on screen. I can't get my desktop active as the log on prompt is there.

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.

i tried to recover my password following the instructions from here (entering also the command: "mount -rw -o remount /") and eveything went smoothly until i rebooted. when i boot up now and the login screen appears i enter my (new) password as usual and then the screen blanks for a moment and "redirects" me back to the login screen. any ideas?

i have ldap server and ubuntu clients ,as they login is working perfectly and no problems at all , but when user change his password he also can login with the new password but he can't login with the old password and the is the right , but if the screen is went locked then he can unlock the screen with the new password and the old password too,

so can any help please ?
