i think so, i still have the problem.

the problem is that i am unable to get into Ubuntu 9.10 running on Gnome. it starts up till i see the desktop being formed, it blinks, turns black and returns to the login screen. running now xcfe to be able to use my laptop.

i can try using the fail safe monitor option (not sure if that works) after i have started up and send another bug report. will this work? ubuntu-bug -p gdm is the correct one?

[Hellsgator (hellsgate)]

i will try to film it and get it on my laptop. i will put it on youtube and send the link, if this possible.

[Hellsgator (hellsgate)]

started up, allowed the crash to happen and here is another version.

unable to get the clip i made on to my laptop. i can only send it by MMS. damn it. :(

[Hellsgator (hellsgate)]

managed to get it uploaded. it is not the best quality movie, done it with my phone, but it pretty much shows what happens after i enter the password. this is the link for YouTube: /watch?v=xMXX5tZ1ukw
