I'm attempting to install ubuntu 14 on a Zotax Zbox Nano vd01. That's one of those minipc/media boxes. I have run other linux distro's on it in the past.
Problem: after install, it brings up the desktop and asks for the password for the user. I enter that and hit enter. All it does is go blank for a short period of time, the return to the login screen.
Other info: Complete new install of ubuntu. overwriting everything. I had other problems intiailly (maybe related) where it wouldn't install at all. This was resolved by hitting 'F6' during install and adding --xforcevesa to the install string. Doing so then allowed me to complete the installation and reboot, ended up with the problem as above. Also, during the install, I indicated it should automatically login and not ask for a user/password.
Thanks for any assistance!
