Hi
I an new to Linux but not IT.
I have been using Zorin 9 for some time but after installing virtualbox and a subsequent reboot I cannot get past the initial, graphical login screen, the one with the black login box, as my admin user, everytime I enter username/password I loop back to the initial login screen.
I can log in as guest with the normal GUI and can open a terminal session and log in as my admin user, in terminal.
I have reinstalled Zorin with the same user/password/drive with no format but still the same.
Any thoughts on how I can get my GUI back?
