Eddy,

I edited your 2 posts w/ code, and changed your PHP tags to CODE
so people don't need to scroll sideways to be able to read an
ordinary post.

Cheers,
Tink

update on resolved issue. I reinstalled ubuntu after reinstalling I couldn't login normally without logging in safe-mode changed display, still couldn't login.

This computer is an old 1,
emachine T1221, 1.3Ghz p3, 512M ram
work around for me was to disable startup programs under sysytem>>preferences>> startup applications.

By default alot of startup apps enabled.

Now I'm able to login normally

Another update to resolved issue.
Shortly after marking this thread as solved, I started experiencing the same problem. I searched threads and came up with 1 that matched my problem perfectly. Any way after removing compiz-core my machine is fine.
Here is the thread
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-login-706601/

Btw my machine is an older 1
emachine T-1221
intel celeron 1.3 Ghz cpu
810chipset
512Mb ram
This is the workaround for my machine
