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.
