I don't know it is a bug of Ubuntu 8.04 or not... please tell me what is the problem if anyone know, although I planned to reintall the OS to 9.10 already... anyway, thanks Kevin No solution, tried to recover all the files back to original setting via usb boot system, still can’t login…

'gksudo' is simply 'sudo' for the GUI environment. You'd better use 'gksudo' when you want to open any GUI based desktop applications, yet using 'sudo' causes the problem like that just doesn't make any sense. The description of your problem indeed reminds me of the same problem I had before. I think I probably had the same one when I used the 8.x version but don't remember the exact version number. In my case, it, of course had nothing to do with the instruction above. It just happened one day when I turned on my PC. I didn't do anything special that time nor did I have any idea how to solve it so re-installed the Ubuntu. I obviously didn't want to lose the important data so used Ubuntu Live CD to boot then copied the data to another partition and finally re-installed it. If your problem keeps happening and you can't find any solution, I suggest using Live CD and restore the settings you have changed. Then you can see if the changes you made caused the problem.

It doesn't display the login request... just display a flashing line and go back to the auto login screen.... when I type the command, I use sudo instead of gksudo, do you think it is possible caused by this? thx anyway Yes, I have tried. but seems no go…

Unfortunately (or fortunately) I have never seen anyone had that kind of problem after following the instruction above. have you tried using a console? If you haven't, try it by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 keys. Hello, Anthony

I think it's a very common problem for those who use Linux and install lots of plugins just like myself. :) Thanks, Chris.
