Hi Gunnar Yes, you are right. My initial problem was a flickering very often whenever I move the mouse. Then after an upgrade I could not login anymore with that account. Therefor the swapping of usernames. Then I also swithed to flashback to eliminate the flickering. I now just want to use a "standard" Ubuntu login without flickering. (i.e. not resorting to flashback or whatever and rescue mode) I don't know what is exactly wrong, but am prepared to help to sort it out as much as I can.
What I did after creating a new user: If I remember right, I copied over my data to the new user home folder and changed its name to the original name and had all hidden files/folders removed/backedup I believe the problem is still the video driver and or settings. (btw the screen size is 20" and the rescue login screen is in a lower res.) OK? (I just ran the update now again and will let you know if there is any improvements.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1250729 Title: Pre-Ubuntu 13.10 user (with cjkv) can not login with lightdm (ibus) Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The best description I can give is on this link. https://sites.google.com/site/pcproblemdoctor/linux (sorry for the link) I have tried again to recreate the old user danie but still same problem - session=gnome-fallback in stead of ubuntu in .dmrc and run_im still has cjkv (apart from not driver=radeon? and flickering with mouse movement and window update) 1) 'lsb_release -rd' = 13.10 2) 'apt-cache policy lightdm' = 1.8.4-0ubuntu 3) Expected to happen: Login to user account with GUI (lightdm) 4) What happened instead: Can only login with very old (pre-12.10) other user accounts or new user accounts.
