My Ubuntu is stuck in a login loop when trying to enter my desktop. When I login, the screen gets black and soon after that the login screen comes back.   I've read that the problem might be caused by an error depending on the graphics, here's my graphics card: ATI Radeon 7670M

Well, I have accidentally deleted my Ubuntu drive. I just want to recover all the contents of /home.   Is there a way to do it? I referred to , where I need to specify the extensions of files. And in my case, I don't know actual extensions. So, is there any utility which can let me recover my /home folder alone?  I have not even formatted that drive or touched it at all. So no write has been done on that drive.  If you have suggestions on how to recover, please tell me.

A few months ago I set full disk encryption during installation of Ubuntu 17.10. Now, I've decided to upgrade. The upgrade ran to the end without any problems. However, after reboot I am not able to log into my encrypted disk.  Where can be the problem? I am 100% sure I press the "right keys" on the keyboard, but technically I don't know what I am writing because of "*" characters and maybe after upgrade my keyboard layout changed. I use some characters which might be somewhere else on the keyboard. What language is default after upgrade?   By the way, I've already tried Caps-lock, but still no luck.  Help will be really appreciated. I am not a fan of installing my system and all backups over and over again.

A few days ago I realized my Ubuntu machine wouldn't load after login. After some digging around on a liveCD I realized my HDD was at 100% capacity, so I deleted some large files and was able to log in. I didn't have sudo permissions any more and had to boot into recovery mode and change the sodoers file, but eventually recovered root permissions.   I then noticed my machine was a little sluggish, and top was showing cupsd using 100% CPU. I've never seen this program before but I soon realized it was a legitimate program.   I the deleted about 40GB worth of videos, only to see my drive space deplete almost instantly in front of my eyes. With a little research and intuition, I realized it might be a a log file being blown up, and sure enough ls -lh /var/log/cups/ shown me an error_log file that was 80GB+ large.   I deleted the file sudo rm -rf /var/log/cups/error_log, killed the service with sudo service cups end, and went on my business. I realized after that it would have been a good idea to check out the contents of error_log before I deleted it, but I wanted to get rid of the thing before I was locked out again.  That was yesterday. Today, I started my laptop again and saw cupsd running again at 100% cpu, and sure enough I see my disk space depleting. I stopped the service and run tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log, and there are millions of lines of this:  W [15/Jul/2015:11:23:03 -0700] Notifier for subscription 911 (dbus://) went away, retrying! E [15/Jul/2015:11:23:03 -0700] File "/usr/lib/cups/notifier/dbus" has insecure permissions (0100777/uid=0/gid=0).   ==EDIT=================================================================  ls -l /usr/lib/cups/notifier/dbus shows permissions and ownership as -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root when they should be -rwxr-xr-x 1 daemon root, as described in the comments. sudo chown root:root /usr/lib/cups/notifier/dbus also did not fix the ownership problems.   Finally I removed and reinstalled cups, but to no avail. These links were given as potentially helpful guides,(,) but they ultimately result in suggesting a reinstall of the OS itself.

I was using another account before. Let me call it account A. And I deleted a lot of files to the Recycle Bin at that time. But before I removed account A I forgot to empty the Recycle Bin.   My question is, are my files still there? I've searched and found that the Recycle Bin may live in $Recycle.Bin, but I can't open files there so I can't know what they are. Any help how to open deleted files or how to delete them permanently?

I noticed that I have passwords in the Password/Encryption Keys program  . It appears that anybody who walked up to my computer could go look at all my passwords without needing a master password. Did I do something wrong or is this the default behavior? And if so, why?   and what if i lock my password is it get locked till i log out or for every time when i have 2to see password then i have to unlock keyrings . if then so how i protect my passwords from other . and why it is done so

I notice a weird (well, according to me) thing about passwords. For example, if I type an incorrect password during login, there will be a few seconds' delay before the system tells me so. When I try to sudo with a wrong password I would also have to wait before the shell says "Sorry, try again".  I wonder why it takes so long to "recognize" an incorrect password? This has been seen on several distributions I use (and even OSX), so I think it's not a distribution specific thing.

I have verbose mode turned on always so I can see if a kernel panic or some error happens. After having it on for a few times, I started to notice that most of the boot was happening after the login. I can't show a picture as it is in boot, but the login screen loads before most of the OS. This is only after a cold boot but I can't seem to find any information on this. All I want is some information on this. EDIT: Basically, the machine starts to boot, the apple logo pops up, a small box of text scrolls down, where the rest of the monitor is not used, it shows the login screen, and after I type the password, the login screen goes away. now the whole screen is used and the rest of the machine boots up. EDIT 2: There is no firmware password. I have not locked the firmware.

Every time I start up the pc or lock it manually and I want to log in again, I have to press random button or mouse click to remove the "Start-screen background". After that I can enter my password/pin to unlock the pc.   What I want is to just start enter the password/pin right away and be done with it. Why show a start-screen that's made for removing anyway?  So how do I skip the lock-screen image? Or make it automatically move away? Or move the password/pin box to the lock-screen? Anything will do, I just want to instantly enter my credentials and be done with it.

I have a situation.  I got married 6 months ago and stored some very important pictures on my laptop which was running Linux. Later I formatted the whole hard drive, installed Windows and a hacked version of Mac (just to play around) and I have been using the laptop for last 8 months or so after that.  Is there any software that can recover the files for me? I am happy to pay money!

I shut down my computer the hard way and next startup there was message on boot for several seconds saying recovering journal. Four startups later and the message was not there - only the first time. Looks like there are no consequences or side effects. Thanks to  I know why it happened but nowhere on the internet says what the journal is. There are no problems with it, I'm just interested in what it is.

I quit and restarted Minecraft because it was being slow/lagging a lot to see if it would help.  Unfortunately, when I opened it up I was logged out and every time I try to login it gives me this message:     Username or password incorrect!   So, I re-typed everything and made sure to type it all correctly and it still won't let me log in. I also noticed that as soon as I hit login the password becomes blank.   I have purchased the game so it's not like a trial has expired or anything like that. What can I do to fix this?

I recently had a profile problem with my Windows 7 PC. My original profile in the registry had ".bak" appended to it and a new profile was created. I was unable to login with the new profile. I fixed this immediate problem by logging on in safe mode. This enabled me to restore my original profile.   However, since that moment the login screen now operates differently. Instead of showing icons for all the users with accounts on the PC, it now only shows two icons. The first icon is the last user who logged on and the second icon always shows "Other User". I have tried several different solutions recommended by other people with similar problems, but none of them have fixed the problem. I think the person who started this  has the same problem, but none of the proposed solutions helped him either.   Any help much appreciated.

So I deleted my .minecraft folder thinking, "oh yeah it'll all just Re-Download when i start minecraft up". I was wrong. I looked in my .minecraft folder and all that is in there is the bin folder and the last login file. I have no idea what to do... Can someone help me with this?  Just letting you know that I emptied my recycle bin after I deleted it. I also have a premium account and it worked fine for the past year.
