I have just installed ubuntu 8.04 LTS but it does not allow me to login. It logs in momentarily but then brings me back to the login screen. I have run the same CD in live version and it works fine. I can also run the "failsafe genome" after installation. However, I cannot login to the normal mode. I think there is some problem with my graphics settings.

Ok, I am assuming that you have a log in screen and that is how you are able to access fail-safe.
Enter the following code in to the terminal and paste the results in to this thread.
lspci -v

Cannot copy paste, since ubuntu does not allow me to do configure my TCP/IP settings and go on to the internet.
This is some of what I see:

Why are there multiple devices with the same IRQ?

1. If this is an IRQ problem then what is the solution.
2. If this is simply a problem with the graphics then what is the solution.

Woah one at a time!
Are you using on board hardware for Audio. VGA and Ethernet? If so that could be why it is reading the way is.

2. If this is simply a problem with the graphics then what is the solution.
I don't know, that is what I am trying to figure out, patience.
Give the following code a try and then see if you can login:
sudo dpkg-reconfigurexserver-xorg

Rather than communicating directly........via the kernels framebuffer driver. Use framebuffer? Yes/No
Tried both options but to no effect. One thing that I notice is that there are horizontal lines that appear at the top of the screen when I try to login to the normal mode.

Hmmm...
I had a similar sitation with the horzontal lines, but they went away as soon as I update the system... I assume that you have updated since installing?
If not:
sudo apt-get install update ; sudo apt-get auto remove ; sudo apt-get autoclean ; sudo apt-get check
That will update then clean out the temp files, as well as see if there are any broken dependencies.
Hopefully it is as simple of a fix.

Here is the reply:
sudo: unable to resolve host....
Tried to solve this problem by editing the hosts file (solution from another thread) but unsuccessful as the modified file cannot be saved.
failsafe genome is working OK accept for update manager gets stuck.
