ello All,
I have 10.04 installed on one partition and Xp on another. One of the partitions is just data.
I had bittorrentclient installed in my linux. It got stuck somewhere and I restarted. After that my Ubuntu doesnt log in. It asks me to enter user name and password with a blue login window instead or usual color[orange?]. It has 3 options as well - Gnome failsafe, Gnome, xterm.
But no matter how many times I enter username and password, it doesnt login and comes back to login window. It also shows on the top right corner that Gnome power manger has not been configured properly and says 'install problems'.
I have tried going into recovery mode and tried " fix broken packages". But still the issue persists.
I have tried going to root from recovery and typing 'dpkg-reconfigure gconf. But it says gconf not installed.
then I tried sudo apt-get install gnome. But it says some broken packages...could not install and all that. it says something about epiphany too.
Then tried sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop as well.
Gave sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade.
But nothing seems to work. Its still blue login window with a black screen behind and not allowing me to login.
My grub has been updated to 'something'.26. The versions 25,24,23 and 22 are also there. I tried entering through all of those too.
please help.
