[ale] Xubuntu 11.10 unable to login via lightdm

[Raj Wurttemberg]

Hey Ted,

 

Some thoughts to help get you back on-line.  Your X (a.k.a. X.org) could be
messed up. First thing you can try is rebuilding your xorg.conf file.

 

Backup the original:

cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/xorg.conf.BACKUP

 

Create a new one:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

 

Next. could be probs in the below files:

 

.Load sessions from /usr/share/xsessions 

.Store session configuration in ~/.dmrc

 

Let me know how it goes.   It is very possible the "xsessions" or ".dmrc"
files are messed up. I can send you mine if needed. Oh, this link might
help:

It's seemed that recently I've had nothing but crummy luck with my Asus Eee
netbook. Most recently I'm having an issue logging in via the lightdm login
manager. When I log in the screen flickers to a black terminal for a moment
and then I'm booted back to the login prompt again.
