unable to login after restart
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on to my system, booted up for the first time and logged in. Did a load of updates (like 224 of them of something) then had to restart.
Logged back in again, installed some more software (G++, wxWidgets, Eclipse, OpenJDK, with associated dependencies) and a NVIDIA driver which required another restart.
After that last restart, Ubuntu boots back to the login screen, but there is no login dialog, just the wallapaper. I tried booting into the recovery console and running dpkg-reconfigure gdm, but this didnt work.
This is a recurring problem for me. I have re-installed Ubuntu 3 or 4 times now all because of the same problem (I cant say if the same things happened on the other occassions, but the error is the same).
Why is this happening?
Regards
Bidski
