I am also seeing this issue, however I noticed that it is actually accepting the login details, its just dumping me back to the login screen afterwards.I noticed this because i purposefully entered an incorrect password and it recognised that straight away and gave me an error message.  When i type in my correct password, it is accepted and seems to proceed and then the screen goes black for a few seconds and then i am dumped back to the login screen.I suspect that it might be some sort of video driver issue, but I am not sure on how to progress as I know nothing of Linux and Ubuntu (this is my first foray into linux)It should also be noted that I used the Wubuntu installer and the PC it is unstalled on is an AMD 64.Your help would be greatly appreciated
