Weird problem:

After upgrading to 11.10 (and I am sure that I worked with it for couple of days).

We had a power failure, and now, when open the computer, what I get is a screen, with a scrollable list of users (administrator is one of them). When I select the administrator user, and login, I get on the top left a terminal window.

That's it !

I don't see my regular ubuntu desktop.

What's wrong?

I have tried some of the issues mentioned here:

• Delete the .Xauthority
• sudo apt-get update

*I had some DNS errors, so had to fic my /etc/resolv.config (works now)

please advise.
