Public bug reported:
Yesterday, I have updated some packages including the usual kernel update as
well. After the request on restart, I was not able to login, the lightdm
accepted the the password and suddenly dropped back to the logon screen. I
tought that is the usual bug, and tried to remove lightdm and add gdm, but has
a same effect: it accept my password starts to move on and suddenly drop me
back to the logon screen again. I have switched back to lightdm and configure
it by the "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" command. I have entered to the system
through ALT+CTRL+F1 console and firstly traied to change the ownership of
.Xauthority with chmod to my user. Login failed again. Then I tried to remove
.Xauthority and login, without success again. Some of the workaround suggested
to remove the custom wallpaper too. I did without success. I have no any idea
further just started to be annoyed. :-(
What else could it be? I want to access my computer and use the graphical
surface and not only the console.
