First post - Hi everyone!

Is it just me or is there an issue with the new 32bit gnome image? Running it as a live cd I cannot get past the login screen and if I install it straight from the start-up screen, my username appears on the login screen but my password isn't recogised. I haven't tried the 64bit edition, but the LXDE version is working just fine.

Anyway, thank you to all concerned for bringing this new Trisquel!

Plug the network card in and try booting again. If that doesn't do it try the reverse. I think there was a bug. Not sure if it is still in Trisquel. It seems to be a bug that just never gets fixed and goes back quite a ways.

I had the same problem when burning the live iso in a CD. To log in in the live system choose "other", username trisquel and no password.

Not sure about your second problem. That doesn't happen here.

No, my gpu is a nvidia gt430.

Had no luck with Chris's or Horgeon's suggestions either. I could still not login to a live session nor login to an installed session - entering my password just returns me back to the login screen.

I had this issue in a installed system when trying to use the "nodev,noexec,nosuid" mount options in many partitions; I figured out using "nosuid" for / and /usr prevents login.

Maybe it's a keyboard problem? Have you tried some braindead password with only letters and numbers?

Can you login via VT? (Ctrl+Alt+F1)
If yes, you can change the password there with the passwd command.

Actually I *can* login via console. A more experienced gnu/linux user probably would have realised this straight away, but unfortunately my knowledge/skills are strictly limited and so I only discovered this a couple of hours ago. Once I had made this discovery, I also found that by switching display manager and installing xfce4 I can now login to an xfce session with the password that I set during install. In a way I am happy with this because xfce is my desktop of choice, but I am still none the wiser as to what the original problem is with the gnome session. Hopefully my experiences will help to troubleshoot the problem?

Thanks again to all who have tried to help me and my apologies for not giving you quite the full picture.
