Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1358479] Re: after typing password on login screen, login screen returns
Dear Filip, Thanks so much for your reply! yes, I had obviously submitted my report twice. Could you please advise on how to open a terminal, if I cannot log into the system? I guess, the guest account would not report the error. Best regards, Hans On 20.08.2014 18:03, Filip Sohajek wrote: Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1358479] Re: after typing password on login screen, login screen returns
Dear Gunnar, Thanks for your support! I'd love to do as requested ... once I am in the system. Can I access these files from the guest account or a live system?

From the login screen you can open a console using Ctrl+Alt+F1, log in and copy the file to a place where it can be accessed from a guest session (e.g. /var/tmp).

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1358479] Re: after typing password on login screen, login screen returns
Dear Gunnar, I am very sorry, but obviously not well versed with such issues - Ubuntu was just too reliable so far :-) I am in the terminal and did first install the apport program. Now I am told that the system waits to hear from launchpad ... I am logged into launchpad from another computer but that doesn't authorize the program. What do I have to do? Thanks so much again!
