Unable to login to Ubuntu Maverick after screen goes off for energy saving
I have the following situation:
Last week I've installed Ubuntu Maverick on an AMD processor computer, with the goal to use the machine as file sharing system for my Windows office network. Everything went fine, I've configured Samba to share folder over the network, gave the right permissions to folders and make it available for the network. But, I left the computer for awhile and when I came back and move the mouse to wake up the display after I entered the password for the user logged in and hit enter key, the result wasn't the one expected. I got a message saying, if I remember correctly, "password incorrect" and prompted again for the password with no avail. If a try using "switch user" option I land to the login screen with the username checked by a green mark, and after I enter the password it returns to the same state. Also after a hard reboot after entering user credentials I am unable to login the system. This was on Thursday last week. Today, when I start the computer, surprise, I was able to login after first try. I made some modifications to the samba server, and the problem came back after display goes for sleep.
The system is an AMD Athlon with Nvidia chipset, ASRock MB. I am using the same administrator credentials (username and password) for Ubuntu system login and for Windows super admin. I'll try to create another user and see what is happening.
Any idea on how to handle this is very welcome.
Thank you.
