Couldn't pass the signin screen
- by Amokrane
I have an issue here with my computer using ubuntu 10.10 on a 64 bits machine. When I start it, I have the login screen, I enter my credentials but instead of starting the session it reloads the login screen again.
I checked the disc using fsck and it seems clean. How should I proceed to diagnose and repair this issue?
Thanks!
[Edit]
I went to the log files, this is what I got:
auth.log
pam_unix (gdm:session): session opened
for user amokrane by (uid=0)
pam_ck_connector (gdm:session): nox11
mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0 pam_unix
(gdm:session) :session closed for user
amokrane
messages.log
No ACPI video bus found
I also took a shot with my camera of the black screen that appears between the two login screens, it says something like:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
/dev/sdc4 : propre, xxxx files, xxxx blocs

Update
I tried the following:
Ctrl-Alt-F1 on the login screen (to runt the console).
sudo pkill startx
sudo rm /tmp/.X0-locl
startx
But it tells me that the x server is already running.
