Public bug reported:

I updated from 10.04 to 11.10 a few hours ago (fresh install of 10.04,
update to 10.10, 11.04 and then 11.10) and now I can't log into my
account any longer. I'm entering the correct password for my account,
press enter, the screen flickers and for a few seconds I can see tty7 as
a terminal (so, instead of gdm or unity, I see log output). It then
returns to the login screen.

The weird thing is that I'm able to log in as a guest user just fine.
I'm filing this bug as a guest on my own laptop...

Some information about my laptop:
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Nvidia graphics card, running the "current" Nvidia driver
- Acer TravelMate
- Everything up to date

Have a great day
Tom
