I have an HP dv9000 17" laptop, dual boot Win7/Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit, 512MB nVidia GeForce 8600M GS. Until the last reboot everything worked perfectly, but now, I am unable to get past the graphical login screen. I click on my username, type in my password, the screen flashes a few times and redisplays the login screen. I can go through this process as many times as I wan to. The system doesn't hang but I am unable to login. (Note: I can login using CTRL+ALT+F1.) As far as I now, nothing changed between logins. I only switched into Windows for a short time to use a WIndows app. I suspect the nvidia driver may be causing the problem. So how do I fix this? Please, help. Thanks.
