Strange log in problem

[Sammy Minocher]

Hi Marc

My problem was different, and I never got even to log in page.

I was running Windows XP and test loaded Ubuntu. Installation was flawless and I got the dual boot with no problems. Then I had a problem on Windows side and I decided to reformat that partition. On loading Windows, I lost the dual booting.

Ubuntu respects other OS while Windows shuts everyone else out.

Being a total newbie, and as it was a spare computer, I reformatted the entire disk and this time loaded Windows first and Ubuntu second. No problem. Now I have to figure out how to make manual decision which OS to start that session. Right now it goes to Ubuntu in x seconds automatically.

Loaded Ubuntu Version 6.06 LTS for your PC. I have no idea what my current updated version is and don't even know how to check for it.

regards
sammy

I have no problem loging into Windows, but when I try to get into linux I can't I boot up, enter my user name, enter my password, then the screen goes dark and I get the log on screen again.
