[solved]new install can't log in

[Guest]

ok first off i am brand new to kubuntu


so i dowload the kubuntu 10.10 32 bit today put it on a usb pen drive and install it set it to auto login first

but i just does the endless loop login so i format and install again thinking i did something wrong this time i

chose the require password to log in and i get the same thing so i come to the forums and read about some

things to do but i have come to the conclusion that i have NO idea what i am doing cant even get into the

recovery console tried the Esc no luck there tried alt f2 no luck

it works great off the usb drive boots just fine runs great i am going to try to install it after it boots from the usb

next to see if that does the trick

did not check to install 3rd party
did not check download updates

anyway system is...

VIA S3 UniChrome, On Board Graphic Max. Memory Share Up to 64MB

2 GB ram

with a 120 GB ide for the system

i just have the 120 GB plugged in now

Re: new install can't log in

I guess this is a display driver issue, try google this: "ubuntu via s3 unichrome login loop". Come back here if you have found the solution
