@EliahKaga Hi

Hi @msiyer.

@EliahKaga Hi still available?

@msiyer Yes, from time to time. Even if I don't reply, I'll get your messages. When I'm here, we can chat realtime. When I'm not, you can use this chat like an extension of the discussion we had in comments--even if I'm afk when you post a message, I'll see it and try to respond to it.

I updated X Server after I received the notification.

The normal "msiyer" user account that I use is not used by anyone else in my house

I do all my development work in that account

The Guest Account is used by others for web surfing alone.

And no one tinkers with the pc at all

Now, after update login screen was not available. I knew something went wrong during X update...

I knew reconfiguring dpkg would help...

Thus, I re-installed X server and reconfigured dpkg... I installed Xubuntu so that I may not end up wasting time tinkering with config files...

For all my tinkering work I rely upon Arch Linux... But the issue is I never get enough time to get deep into Linux due to my day job.

Now, login screen came back as usual but my login attemots with "msiyer" failed. My login has password enabled.

I could login to the system with Guest Account only.

I knew or thought, Guest Account could never make any modifications to existing set of users.

This is the history behind my post today.

I am on the verge of removing Xubuntu... but I love it so much... its absolutely a pain

I just have around 6 months of experience with Linux... and if i condense all the time I sent actually doing stuff, it would come down to a month or so....

I definitely recommend reporting this as a bug.

When you say the login screen was not available, what do you mean? What did you see instead?

Also, when you say you rely on Arch Linux for tinkering, do you mean that some of this happened on Arch Linux rather than on Xubuntu? Or that you used Arch Linux to perform modifications to your Xubuntu system somehow? Or something else?

The console appeared instead of the GUI login screen

What I meant is: I do not tinker with Xubuntu... for tinkering I have a separate machine with Arch installed... Arch has no role to play in the current issue

sorry, misclick to get to thsi room, but are you saying that a console login screen (TTY) is showing on boot instead of the GUI?
