If I restart X by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace, I come to the login screen, but a window pops up, saying "Authentication failed" - and I cannot login, because that window won't dissapear.
Trying to fix this, I got problems with the .Xauthority file, which caused me to not being able to run a lot of things/settings in Ubuntu (got the "error locking to authority file /home/(user)/.Xauthority), but I ran chown (username) - and fixed that.
If I turn off automatic login, in the "login window" under "Administration", I cannot log in at the start-up screen, but have to kill X and log in at the command line, and start X afterwards manually.
Any suggestions?
