This is a revision to an earlier thread where I misstated the problem.. My bad...
I'm new to Linux, having only used it for a couple of weeks. I just upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04 and now I cannot log in to the GUI. The login screen seems to accept my login as valid (no error), but the screen flashes a few times and after several seconds, I find myself back at the login screen.
I CAN log into recovery mode, so it's not a password problem. I suspect that some startup or config file is corrupted.
One more piece of info...
After a failed login attempt, I do a <cntrl><alt><F8> and get half a text screen of messages that look normal (maybe), except for the second line which reads:
udevd[367]: can not read 'etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp.rules'
I'm stuck...
Any ideas?
