Just installed Ubuntu (dual boot) on HD with Windows XP Home. I did a manual partition (I guess I did it right). It looks as though there is one swap file that is shared by both Ubuntu and XP. I am unable to login to the gui. I can switch to the command line (ctrl-Alt-F2) and login from there, but when I switch back to the gui, the username login windows appears and I cannot go any further. I logged back into the command line and changed the password, thinking this might help, but I am still unable to get into the main Ubuntu gui. Any ideas out there?
