Looks like for some reason your /etc/passwd file is messed up. Login with root account, edit file /etc/passwd. In that file search for the username you use for normal user (kgnile). The second last entry is home folder for that user and last entry is which shell to use. Check which one of them is /dev/null. My guess is your home directory has changed. Your home directory should be of the form /home/kgnile Onkar -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
