I am using Ubuntu 12.10 and sometimes the windows environment crashes. But, I am still able to move the mouse and call the tty windows using Ctrl+Alt+f1-6 keys. But I am never able to login sucessfully.

I can call the terminal icon in the windows and make a root login. But when the terminal is called with Ctrl+alt+fx keys it always gives invalid login. How to make a login this way and how to reset the windows environment (to cancel the crash)?

Thank you

Your username is the one before the @ mark on prompt.

Like, mine is ronnie@acer-TM-PLAY. So, my username is ronnie and the password you know.

When you enter Ctrl+Alt+Fx keys You have to enter that username and the password assigned to it.

Hope it helped

  • it does not appears any @ character. Only this: nuno-belas login: But i write nuno-belas then the password and it does not work. – Kaf Mar 12 '13 at 07:30
  • You should use nuno as user (if that is your username) and then enter your password. – don.joey Mar 12 '13 at 07:36

Username has to be all simple. My username was Aux-146. I had to use aux-146 for login. And it works. Hope this helps.

I had to open a terminal window using the icon in the windows environment and then i login with root. I used the useradd to add the user and then the command passwd to define a password. Then it worled. Thank you.
