Been using Linux for over 10 years. Have been using Mate for a couple of years.
I can login to my user account fine. However, if I create a 2nd account or if I try to login to the root account, (fully set for login access) the name & password are accepted and it goes to a light blue screen with an arrow cursor in the middle then it stays there. I can move the cursor around but there is no way to get out of that screen. C-A-D and C-A-B nor ESC, etc work. I have to press and hold the computer power button and reboot. I have also tried waiting for several hours to no avail.
Not sure what info to supply so:
