Hey, Thanks for the response. I pressed <CTRL>-<ALT>-<F1> and it seemed to log in at first attempt but I didn't know how to get back to the GUI so I had to just restart the computer. I have no idea what " Is anything meaningful logged in ~/.xsession-errors or /var/log/syslog" means sorry. Thanks for your time.
