Dear All
Please if you can help me, for some reason I am not able to login to zorin when using the default zorin graphical intf, but if I change to for example GNOME flashback or any other interface I can login, I am using ZorinOs 9.

any Idea please?

HI, have you added Gnome-full by any chance or made modifications of installing different DE's (Desktop Environments) to the standarde one? Have you done a full post-install update as outlined in Wolfman's excellent guide here:

How do you get back to the default Zorin desktop if you do something wrong? Like a system reset?

Hi, I think that is going to be tricky if you have somehow corrupted the Zorin DE by adding something else - as a rule of thumb, "If in doubt ... DON'T!"

I would be tempted to do a fresh install but back up all your /home folder first (Ctrl+ H to show hidden files), then copy and paste to another Drive/USB thumb drive and do a fresh install - I made similar mistake when 'messing' with Zorin 9 - so you are in good company! :lol:
