Cannot Login Anylonger

[Richard_Clement]

I just recently installed Xubuntu 10.04 on a new desktop and I have immediately begun to have issues. Within 10 minutes of installation, I had begun to look around to change the window 'theme' settings. I was scrolling through the themes and BOOM the system blanks out and forces me back to the login. At first I was thinking it was no big deal, but as it turns out, it will not let me back it.

Basically, I use my credentials, it appears to login, it goes to a black screen with the cursor at the top left and then sends me back to login like nothing happened.

If anyone has any ideas on how to reconcile the problem, I would surely appreciate it.

Thanks, Richard.

IMO, since you just installed, it would make sense to reinstall and see if it happens again. It would be difficult to troubleshoot something you can't get into.

I went back and re-installed it and it was working. THEN I went to change the window theme to 'wild' something...the second to last choice in XFCE and BOOM it happened again. I wanted to use xubuntu on this desktop but this is strange. Does anyone have any ideas.

Does anyone know some commands to force change the theme to something default if it is caused by the faulty theme?
