Help with log in problem

[Mircea Mitu]

First I'd suggest you to ask for support on ubuntu users mailing list 
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users or on the web
forums http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=131

Second, I suspect a video driver problem or Xorg problem, instead of
authentication problems. Try pressing Ctrl-F1 at login screen, which
will switch you to a blank terminal console, where you can try log in
with user name and password. If this works, try

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade 

to upgrade to the latest packages which may have a fix for your problem.

If this still doesn't work, try the ubuntu users mailing list of the
forum suggested above.
