What should have been an easy night has turned into a nightmare. Upgrading my secretary's PC to 15.10 so she can use same version of evolution I am using (3.18.2). Secretary's PC has nvidia graphics GT218 Geforce 4800. First attempt at upgrade (over existing install -- worked like a champ 3X before) resulted in logon screen coming on as expected (but no nVidia banner as on my Dell laptop) with me sec's name. I enter her password, screen goes black, and the comes back asking for the password.
I have tried some of the usual fixes (e,g, purging video drivers and starting over, trying nouveau drivers, etc. When I did a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, mayh new programs were loaded. Should have been a winner, but same problem exists. I can use the PC is Guest mode no problem. CLI works fine.
So, what do I need to do to fix this problem. I has come up many times before and various fixes exist on the internet.
What is going on with the PC and how do I fix it?
Thank you,
John
