Would you try this please? 1. Before or after loggin in, type control-alt-F1. Use the control and alt keys on the left side of the keyboard, not the those on the right side. 2. If the screen changes to a mostly black display with lighter-colored text and no icons visible anywhere, you have just reached a virtual console; keep going. If not, come back here and tell us what you see and what your screen looks like. 3. You should see something like "localhost login:", which is a prompt for you to log in. The word "localhost" will likely be replaced by the name that you chose for your computer when you installed Linux. 4. Try logging in. You should get a shell prompt. 5. See what happens and report back! -- Henry House +1 530 753 3361 ext. 13 Please don't send me HTML mail! My mail system frequently rejects it.
