Public bug reported:
After setting my account to login automatically through the user and
groups setting in Lubuntu. After the computer reboots it gets stuck in a
loop on the login screen. Logging in will just send you back to the same
screen.
The only way I could fix the issue was to press CRTL + ALT + F1, logging in
through the CLI and typing:
"sudo mv .Xauthority .Xauthority.bak"
and then once I was back to the login screen I was able to login and turn the
setting off.
I did check to see weather that was what caused it, by restarting the
computer without turning off the auto-login. However the same issue
happened and only turning off auto-login would stop the login loop.
