Ubuntu 16.04 boots into restricted guest session
as from a couple of days ago my laptop (Dell Latitude D630) will boot only into a restricted (and temporary) guest session.
I have no option to log onto my actual user account.
I have very limited permissions, and cannot see any of my 'actual' user account area (so can't rescue any of my files - though most were backed up)
I cannot even see any files under /etc, /home, etc.. My guest home directory is now "/tmp/guest-wzrtia" (and I don't have write permission there either!).
This situation is the same as I had when I did my initial install a few months ago, selecting 'dummy run', prior to doing the permanent install.
How could this have happened? Where to go from here?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
*** OK - I've been able to switch into my 'proper' account, kill the guest session, and when I rebooted this time it came up properly! No idea what the problem was. Closing the call.
