EEEK! cannot log in

[Ryan Gauger]

Hey, Kevin! I'm using Raring too, but should probably upgrade to Saucy. I've had this happen before, and I found the easiest way to fix it is simply restoring from a previous backup or doing a complete reinstall from scratch. I would really like to know if there's an easier way, so if anyone has one, we would love to hear it. This is just what I've done in the past when I've run into graphical login issues like this. Hope this helps!
