That looks good.
Check to see if any files in your home directory have suddenly changed to root ownership. If any have, let us know which ones. If none have, try the following:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd stop
sudo killall Xvnc
sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd start
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
That will kill the xinet daemon, kill all Xvnc processes, restart xinet daemon and restart the GDM. See if that lets you login again.
When I screwed up with the root password, after I reclaimed ownership of the file, I had to do the above steps before I could login on the console GDM.
I have had a few quirks since then, but luckily I have ssh access for remote logins setup. Even if the console goes kerblewey, I can still use the SSH login... And yes, it happened that the keyboard was not accessable due to a motherboard port failure. SSH allowed me to get in and shut it down cleanly so I could changed the motherboard.
See if that helps.
