Public bug reported: I install 12.10 and upgrade to 13.04 today. I have a user called "shakaran" where I can login in 12.10. After the upgrade, I cannot login with my user shakaran in 13.04. When I enter the credentials it tries to load, but it shows a quickly black screen an return again to lightdm login.
Switching with Alt+F1, I try to search a explanation in logs, then I found in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log: [+39.05s] DEBUG: Greeter start authentication for shakaran [+39.05s] DEBUG: Started session 2495 with service 'lightdm', username 'shakaran' [+39.06s] DEBUG: Session 2495 got 1 message(s) from PAM [+39.06s] DEBUG: Prompt greeter with 1 message(s) [+39.12s] DEBUG: Greeter start authentication for shakaran [+39.12s] DEBUG: Session 2495: Sending SIGTERM [+39.12s] DEBUG: Started session 2496 with service 'lightdm', username 'shakaran' [+39.12s] DEBUG: Session 2495 terminated with signal 15 [+39.12s] DEBUG: Session 2495 failed during authentication [+39.13s] DEBUG: Session 2496 got 1 message(s) from PAM [+39.13s] DEBUG: Prompt greeter with 1 message(s) So it is failing the authentication with signal 15. Then I try to make another user called "angel" with: sudo adduser angel I switch back with Alt+F7. Then I can login the user "angel" but still I cannot login with my old user "shakaran".
