Phoenix, that solved the problem. I can now login to my system - about time too, because I couldn't work another day on Windows. :-)
Anyway the login issue is resolved but the whole messing with passwords put me in a world of hurt when it comes to my encrypted home folder. Now ecryptfs is acting up - but thats a topic for another bug thread if it applies. Again, thanks. If any developer needs some more info on this bug I'm ready to provide the neccessary info. -- passwd - can't login, change password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546874 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
