Colin, Thanks for the email and your fix suggestion. How do you get to terminal when you can't log in? I went ahead and reinstalled 7.10 on the stick and it seems to be working OK except the persistent mode doesn't work. Your right, If persistent mode doesn't work, what's the use of logging into Ubuntu with the USB dongle. RG

It was not something that happened every time I used it. I recently found that 7.1 can also be run in the same way and see the problem there too. Also after running it a few times. The solution proposed here does not work as there is no alternative way of accessing the storage in this environment. A solution appears to be also proposed at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=527615, but trying this simply destroys Xsession on my system. I have created a second administrator account on my stick tio see if I can fiddle something the next time it occurs, but if that doesn't work, this bug is a real show stopper. I don't want to create a new usb stick every time I use it. There is no point in a persistent model if one has to do this! -- can't logon using USB dongle with 7.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197454 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- can't logon using USB dongle with 7.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
