Hi, I was working normally on my gnome desktop when suddently the system hanged, it was not responding so I did a hard reboot. When the system restarted the gdmgreeter appeared as normal but I got a "Authentication failed, Letters must be typed in the correct case" straight away. Clicking Username textbox did not have any effect and I could not enter anything, it was simply not responding. Now everytime I restart my machine I face the same dilemma. All I see in /var/log/messages is "gdm[ID]: Couldn't authenticate user". Strangely when I vnc to the system from another machine gnome starts normally. So I presume it has something to do with gdmgreeter or the initial login process. In my brief search on google I could not reallly find anything meaningful. I would be grateful if someone can guide me how to fix this issue.
