# Can not login, it shows black screen

## post by rae on Jun 3, 2022

I am using the newest lambda tensorbook razer.

I tried to login but it shows black screen.

I created a new account and I am able to log in with the new one.

Perhaps I have to reinstall Ubuntu.

How can I enter BIOS?

If the new account works, it is likely you have something setup wrong in your local account startup files.

Most likely it is your ‘~/.bashrc’ (example: ls -l ~rae/.bashrc)

To see other ‘dot’ files: ls -ld ~/.*

You could use ‘diff’ to see the difference between your .bashrc and the one in your new account.

diff ~/.bashrc ~rae/.bashrc

Or if something is accessing the default terminal, commonly you can use:

control-alt-F1 (or the Control-alt-[F1 - F6] to change to other terminals).
