OK, to repair my login I had to uninstall and install again lightdm. # For re-configuring $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm Re-installing $ sudo apt-get purge lightdm && sudo apt-get install lightdm Or install gdm in place of lightdm... $ sudo apt-get purge lightdm && sudo apt-get inst...

Thanks, I got into the Recovery Mode and then dropped down to root. I was able to rebuild dmlight and then my password and user name worked!

Thanks Karl, I will give these possible solutions a shot and report back!

Thanks Rob, but I would guess (I have never seen it installed on a PC...) that what you are showing me is Win10. My problem is in Ubuntu Linux. The mouse, including side scroll works great in the test found in Settings. But in actual use, it is very erratic.

Thanks for trying!

A custom burnt BIOS sounds like the answer to many problems!
