I did a completely new install of Lubuntu on to a PC earlier to day, the setup went ok with no issues, I then moved on to updating the system and installing the other software packages I wanted, during all this I rebooted the PC several times and had no problem logging in. I installed ssh server and I was able to ssh into the PC, I then installed vnc server but was having difficulty getting it running. When I checked the history of installed packages I realised rather than installing tightvnc server which is the one I normally install I had installed something like x4vncserver. So I selected x4vncserver for complete removal and installed tightVNC server. I gave the PC a reboot just to be on the safe side. Once it has rebooted I tried to ssh into the PC but was unable to, I then tried logging into the PC from the PC itself and found I was unable to.
When I try and login I enter the password, click log-in the screen goes black and then comes back to the log-in screen again asking for my password. If I type a word that I know is not my password then a red box immediately pops up when I click on log-in. So that tell me it is not my users password that is the problem. I only have the one login on the PC so I cant login as another user other than guest but when I login as that there is very little I can open or run, I cant Sudo to anything as I don't have permission and I cant change permission as it wont accept my password.
Anybody any thoughts on what the problem could be and how to correct it?
