1 user can't login after 12.04 64bit upgrade

[donovanjf]

I just upgraded to 12.04 Precise and after power cycling I can't login to my ID. A message flashes up on the screen too quickly to see, and I'm returned to the password prompt. I am currently logged into the the other admin account so I'm assuming there is something wrong with mine. Here is the auth.log entry for my (donovan) attempts:

I have the same issue. Its a login loop and it seems like on startup, some application/script is trying to run sudo and has 3 incorrect password attempts.
It happened after I did a apt-get upgrade and rebooted. Something broke with the update.

Here is my auth.log
