[ubuntu-in] Unable to log in normal Ubuntu account

[tabankg]

    Thank You very much Friends!!! I must particularly pay thanks to
alfred,by whose suggestion I ran the command "sudo chmod 666 /dev/null",on
the console screen (in text mode),and after that I could easily log onto my
normal Ubuntu-8.04 account as "kgnile",without any hassles.
     Thank you once again Friends!!!
