After upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 I can't escape a login loop.
- Ubuntu boots up to the login screen without a problem
- after I put my user name and my login password into the input mask i actually can login
- It shows the menu bar on the top
- then the old items on the desktop also appear
- I even can hear the successfull login sound
Suddenly the desktop disappears and I see a console for just a second and I am back where I started!! at the Login Screen.
I tried with my user account as well as with the root account no difference at all.
However I can successfully perform a login on any of the TTY consoles
My environment is a simple one. VirtualBox on a MacBook with all the standard settings and 8.10 worked fine!!
One more thing. On the sda1 partition there are still 1.3 G avaialble
Please advice!!
