Re: Login Loop
Are you comfortable with terminal??
If so, have you tried using the terminal in a live boot CD or USB, mount your Hard Drive, navigate to /home/"user"/ and then delete the hidden .Xauthority file in your home directory?
If you use an Ubuntu live CD/USB you will probably have to navigate to the home directory on the Linux partition.
Once you are in the correct directory, use the terminal command...
Code:
sudo rm -rvf ./.Xauthority
It should provide a verbose output of "removed './.Xauthority'" if successful.
Otherwise you can just use Puppy Linux (which runs in root), mount the harddrive (by clicking on the Hardrive's Icon on the Desktop), and navigate to the home folder using GUI. You can then "show hidden folders" and then delete the .Xauthority file.
Otherwise you will need to wait for someone else's help with this issue. Those are the only ways I know how do it.
