Title:
Unable to login with LightDM on 13.04
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Good day!
I'm using Ubuntu 13.04. After I started my machine I found myself
unable to login into Unity: LightDM started successfully, but every
time I entered my password and hit <Enter> the screen became blank for
a moment and LightDM restarted itself. I rebooted the machine but
nothing changed.
At the same time I was able to login to both my account using CLI and
to Unity session of another user on the same machine.
Here is the contents of /var/log/upstart/lightdm.log

After this I inspected my home folder with 'ls -al | grep Xauth' on
the account of .Xauthority files and found this:
****************** ls -al /home/boris | grep Xauth

The same command for the account that I was able to log into (seldom
used) produced
::::::::::::::: ls -al /home/veronika/ | grep Xauth

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Seeing this, I decided to move all the Xauthority files in my home
directory to a temporary folder and tried to login again, this time,
successfully. Here is the current output of 'ls -al /home/boris | grep
Xauth':
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ls -al /home/boris | grep Xauth
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
