<div dir="ltr">Alex,<div><br></div><div>I've had a similar issue, a while back, couldn't log in a Desktop Environment anymore. It looped back to the login screen. Is it familiar?</div><div>The solution was installing gdm from command line, "sudo apt-get install gdm" (running kde here, which uses lightdm) and then "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm".</div>
<div><br></div><div>Now I have upgraded to 13.10 too, but gdm seemed to be broken, only a black screen showed up. So then I had to "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" :-)</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps one of these might work for you too.</div>

<div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,Sans-Serif"><div><span style="font-size:12pt">Hi folks. Happy Halloween! I've been ''playing'' with my system, installing the 64 bit Ubuntu Studio 13.10 distribution, and have ended up with the following: </span><br>
</div><div><br></div><div>sda2 - ntfs, 181 GB </div><div>sda6 - ext4, 73 GB </div><div>sda7 - ntfs, 63 GB </div><div><br></div><div>sda2 is my Windows 7 Home Premium partition, working perfectly. </div><div>sda7 has no OS installed on it, and has been created because sda2 is getting full. </div>
<div>sda6 has UB Studio 13.10 installed, but I can only login as guest. I can Ctrl Alt 2 and login as alex, so I know my password is being entered correctly, but then startx doesn't work. </div><div><br></div><div>What I'd like to do, is copy all the contents of
home/alex to sda7 then remove sda6, move sda7 so that it is next to sda2 and install UB13.10 from scratch. </div><div><br></div><div>So I figure I can login as guest, CTRL ALT 2, login as alex, mount sda7, and then use a single cli command to copy everything in my home partition to sda7, but I don't know what the commands to do this are. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm not looking to have my home partition on sda7, I just want to backup all my pics / videos /music / downloads so I can start again. I figured this would be easier than fixing the password issue. </div>
<div><br></div><div></div><div>Any help appreciated; thanks in advance, from Alex.</div><div></div><div> <span style="font-size:12pt">-- </span></div><div> Alex Armani - Digital Musician <br><a href="http://www.newmatrixism.com" target="_blank">www.newmatrixism.com</a></div>
