I installed Kubuntu 8.04 on a fresh partition last night.
Everything was fine until I upgraded to Intrepid a few hours later.
After the upgrade and reboot, I was taken to my login screen as expected. Pretty. So, then I attempted to login and watched as KDE briefly switched interfaces (mostly just a black flicker without ever making it to the desktop) but quickly just reloaded the login screen.
It does this ad infinitum; It's a login infinite-loop.
I considered the ludicrous idea that perhaps I was actually giving incorrect user/pass, so I tried something different. No. Any incorrect login attempt notifies me that it's incorrect.
So, long story short, login is complete fail. I'm I'm locked out of Kubuntu.*
* I can successfully login to TTY2 but I'm not sure where to even begin tackling this KDE/Login issue via the CLI.
It's tempted to just do a complete reinstall, but that doesn't exactly help fix this problem... and if there are others experiencing the same issue, they need to be reassured that a complete reinstall should never be the answer.
Not in any Ubuntu distribution.
