works fine.

----------------------

hi, all,
have used 11.10 while , suddenly, cannot login system (ubuntu 11.10) worked before. have tried different desktops (gnome, gnome classic, ubuntu,etc. ) no luck.

believe might caused recent upgrade using command line:
>sudo apt-get update
>sudo apt-get upgrade

tried solution in thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1335435&page=2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) tty terminal pressing crtl+alt+f1.

2.) login terminal. (it ask username/password. cursor not move when type password, normal.
4.) sudo stop gdm (or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop)

3.) sudo apt-get purge gdm

4.) sudo apt-get install wdm

5.) sudo reboot now
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

not have gdm installed.
