reinstalled by some partial upgrade- to get recovery mode working).
Added another user. Rebooted. Both user names appear in the login

@Tom: Lucid is now unstable, I think these things are quite normal when
you do beta test... at least I think you should be aware that is more

@Tom, did you tried installing kdm (the KDE desktop manager)? That
always worked for me, anyway it seems that you are having trouble also
with authentication. Have you tried login in with single user mode?
That automatically logs you in as root if I am correct, so you can at
least avoid the first
Cristian,
Thanx for your support.
I know very well it is beta, but until last week even alpha was a lot better
than beta now. Better even than Karmic.
AFAIK a LTS release is branched off Debian stable, so should be pretty good to
start with.
It's a number of bugs biting me simultaneously that

No, I did not try KDE and right now I can't. I'll have to wait for this to get
fixed and then reinstall from a daily cd containing the right kernel and ati
drivers.

The other way
Same issue; however I found that at the end of the recovery mode
messages, I hit enter, msgs to to last, and then from there I can do
Ctrl-Alt-F1 and get into a console. From that I can login, stop gdm

Another added note: on the machine still having issues, I cannot unlock
the Login Screen Settings (System|Administration|Login Screen); click
'Unlock' and it remains greyed out. On the machine that is working
again, I can unlock the Login Screen Settings.

Was experiencing the same login boot issue you guys describe after the current

hi Jakub,
Will try that in a minute and report back here.
For now I found a workaround:
- boot into rescue mode
- choose 'resume normal boot'
- this gives me a pure text mode login, no virtual tty
- login with user/passw as normal
- issue command 'startx'
after that I get my normal desktop and
That workaround doesn't work for me. I can't login even in the standard
text console. That's why I think that my problem isn't gdm related.
