Hi Jack,

Normally when you put in the password and press the return / enter  key
you are at the menu. Then you click on the 'Applications' menu and start
exploring Ubuntu.

However you seem to be indicating that this is not the case.

This raises some questions in my mind.

1) Was the screen that you put your username and password in light
tan/brown in colour?
2) Was the screen that you put your username and password in black in
colour?
3) Did you get a message telling you that the username/password was
incorrect?
4) Is the situation something else?

If the answer to 4) is Yes then please give as much detail as possible
and your question can lead in many directions.

Regards,

Paul O'Malley
