I did a clean install of Lubuntu 10.04.
I had login problems.
After input of user name and password, it doesn't login but resets the login box with an empty text field.
I kept doing it over and over again, still the same.

Re: Login Problems
[bump]
I reinstalled it again choosing the option to login automatically. After reboot, it did login automatically.
But upon logout, when i tried to login again, it doesnt. it did the same thing as before.
I tried another method, I installed Xubuntu 10.04, then installed Lubuntu 10.04 on top of it. Log in works fine. Then, i tried purging Xubuntu completely and reinstalled Lubuntu using apt-get install lubuntu-desktop. I tried the login screen again, still it doesn't login.
Probably lxdm is the problem? I installed gdm, and chose gdm as default, it works fine.
This would be my temporary "fix." I hope this would get fixed soon.
I love Lubuntu,. it only uses 150MB of RAM in my case ^^

Re: Login Problems
My money would be on delete /etc/pam.d/lxdm would allow you to log in.
There is a reference to include system-auth that may or may not be defined.
If you delete it, you will flow to /etc/pam.d/other which should give you basic Unix-like semantics
If that works, post here if you would please.

Re: Login Problems
Deleting the /etc/pam.d/lxde did the trick for me. Now the login works fine.
