Today, after a fresh install, I can't seem to login with my user account.

The Guest account allows me to login, but not my usual account (the one set during install). My account name was used in the past with older installs of Ubuntu. I also have a /home dir that is partitioned. Do I need to delete some settings in the /home or somewhere?

Here are my partitions used: Does anyone see anything wrong with these? Not sure about he / and /boot.

/dev/sda1 ext4 1GB  /boot

/dev/sda5 swap 8GB  swap

/dev/sda6 ext4 20GB /

/dev/sda7 ext4 20GB /usr

/dev/sda8 ext4 20GB /var

/dev/sda9 ext4 20GB /srv

/dev/sda10 ext4 181GB /home (existing - not formatted)

Edit: I noticed it accepts the username/password, but I then see a black screen - then back to the login prompt. Could there be an old nVidia setting in there that is causing the screen to go black? In a previous install I did have nVidia issues - I gave up on that one. Maybe I should try to load the drivers and put the nVidia card back in?
