[Desktop-packages] [Bug 824921] Re: Unable to login without logging into the terminal first

[Tony Wood]

If you are having problems logging onto the new Ubuntu 11.10.  Then give
this a go:

Press Ctrl+Alt+F1
login
sudo chmod 777 -R /tmp
sudo reboot


we have 3 machines with this problem.  we have had a go with most of the post 
that people have published.  
What fixed it for us (bad practise I know, but for now we can login)

  Unable to login without logging into the terminal first

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Ok, it turns out removing the .dmrc file isn't the cause of my logins
  working:

  I removed it yesterday while I was logged in and shutdown my computer.
  Today I switched my computer on and the login screen, again, wouldn't
  let me in. I jumped into terminal to remove the .dmrc file, only to
  discover that it wasn't there. I went back to the login screen and
  this time it let me straight in.

  So it looks like simply logging into the terminal allows the login
  screen to work...

  
  OLD:
  After a recent dist-upgrade, I have been unable to login without first 
deleting the .dmrc file within my home directory.
