Problems loging in

[Bill]

Hi,

I really need some advice on this one...

1. I have mint - Mate installed version = rebecca , the latest version 
and fully updated) installed.
2. During a electrical power outage, I turned on my computer (battery 
backup) but the router was not on battery backup, thus no network 
connection (I have a wired connection).
3. The computer booted up properly with a delay because on no network 
connection.  I expected this.
I successfully got through grub and I got the logon screen.  So far, no 
problems.
4. When I  loged-on to any account, all I get is a black screen and the 
mouse cursor.  The mouse cursor responds to moving the mouse.

The electricity is fully restored and I can access the internet but I 
can't get into any Mint account.My guess is that something is wrong with 
the X server.  Is there any solutions to this?  Maybe I can get to a 
command prompt to fix the problem, but how?

I dual boot with Windows, Ubuntu - Mate, and Mint Mate.  Windows works 
fine so it is not a hardware problem.  Although I haven't tested Ubuntu 
- Mate but I'll bet that works, I'll check later. Since it affects ALL 
Mint-Mate accounts (admin and regular users) it is something global and 
not unique to a particular account.
