View Full Version : [ubuntu] Repeating GUI login after latest 10.04 updates

I have an MSI U100 Winbook with Ubuntu Workstation 10.04 LTS newly installed (about 4 days ago).

The update manager displayed about 15 or so updates for my 10.04 installation which I installed. Upon reboot, I can not successfully login to the desktop. It will take my username/password, the screen will go black for a couple of seconds, then the error sound, and back to the login dialogue.

A tail on /var/log/messages displays:

atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf7 on isa0060/serio0)
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e077 <keycode>; to make it known.
composit sync not supported

These messages keep repeating. I am able to login at the console just fine. I have enabled root login but get the same issues logging in as root. I have googled and found several articles and postings involving these messages but they are all in reference to upgrading from 9.x to 10.04. I did not upgrade and did not experience the freezing of applications as noted in those posts.

I'm kinda dead in the water unless someone can help.

No one has seen this? Do I just need to reinstall?
