Very likely that would be issue. The problem is that I am not able to access a shell for root or the regular user. On the console, I get logged out immediately. On GUI, fvwm, the root is able to login. I can launch top and other utilities. But I am not able to launch xterm. I guess I would have to boot using external usb, mount the disk and repair it.
