I just installed my new Linux distribution called ultimate edition which is based on Ubuntu and after instalation I can't login to the desktop. If gnome it just sends me back to login screen, and with plasma it just freezes around 3/4 of the loading
Try booting to maintenance mode (or whatever Ubuntu might call it) or to a Live Image and look in the log files. I'd start with /var/log/syslog, /var/log/Xorg.0.log. You may find a hint there as to what is going wrong.
