Thread: No login screen after booting Ubuntu

-

after i've booted ubuntu (mediacenter), logon screen not showing.
thing showing orange color (the default color).
it's connected tv supports 1920x1080p , it's set 16:9.

how resolve this?

xorg.conf attached.





edit:
when i'm running 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' , 'startx' in tty2, can see desktop , whatever want to.
error lays in login.
couldn't figure out is.

have changed gdm-theme while ago, haven't been troubles before now.
i'm running 2.6.28-14-generic kernel, ubuntu 9.04.
when i'm logged in , looking @ nvidia-settings, resolution 1920x1080.


actually, realized automatic logged in user `media` , there no background , no possiblity right click on desktop.
attached files attached files

i've solved it.

the case this:
have enabled automatic login user `media` had no password (had done /etc/shadow/ user got "blank" password).
when system logged in user, background orange showing without else.
problem.

solve problem, did this:
1. logged in tty, pressing ctrl+alt+1.
code:
orrie@mediacenter:~$ sudo -i  password:  root@medaicenter:~# /etc/init.d/gdm stop  root@mediacenter:~# startx
in x-session removed user `media` obvious making trouble gdm.
system > administration > users , groups
after i've done that, booted in recovery mode , logged in user , running command:
code:
orrie@mediacenter:~$ sudo deluser media && sudo rm -rf /home/media/
then when i'm booted computer up, gdm-theme loading , login regular user.
bug-problem solved!


be aware loosing media-data if deleting home directory user `media`.

hi community, in last days working on project using arduino mega 2560. on planning pin using found bugs in atmega2560-arduino pin mapping . if right there labels (such pwm) in 'mapped pin name' @ wrong row ( mixed pin numbers right one...) in attachment openoffice calc , pdf file corrected table.

hello i'm super newb please don't bash me much. i'm using led's , i've connected them correctly (finally) , wondering why program here ( http://www.arduino.cc/en/tutorial/colorcrossfader ) doesn't work? say's haven't declared crossfade. read directions on top , said crossfade needs used list order of colors. isn't declared in main part (void loop() )? or need declared before? nevermind void on bottom , needed before voidloop. lol anyways playing rgb led's wondering if has specific way of making them fade in , out different colors? (brightness , color mixing) code: [select] /* * code cross-fading 3 leds, red, green , blue (rgb) * create fades, need 2 things: *  1. describe colors want displayed *  2. list order want them fade in * * describing color: * color array of 3 percentages, 0-100, *  controlling red, green , blue leds * * red red led @ full, blue , green off *   int red = { 100, 0, 0 } * dim white 3 l...
