Linux Cannot Login XBMC but into console via putty
#1
Question 
Hi,

i am taking the risk of getting answers like do some goolge or other search, but i am tired of spending my time for something i should have never started.

I installed XBMCBuntu (Frodo PreBeta) on an Asrock E350M1 Board from an ISO Cd onto a harddisk.
During Installation i chose 'login to XBMC automatically.
All I needed was working quite will until today i ran
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
to get to latest beta build of Frodo.
After that i did a restart and now i am stuck with a screen asking me to login.
I enter my username and password - but the login screen keeps coming back - no ways to log into XBMC.

I could have forgotten/mistyped my password - but when i login to the console via putty my username and password are accepted.
For this behaviour I do not have an explanation nor did i find anything useful so far doing various searches.

As i have acces to the files maybe i only need to edit some startup file/parameter - but for this i do not have knowledge.

Any help is very much appreciated.

cheers
Ernst
