Public bug reported: Dear all,
I had a problem login on Xwindows between Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 18.04. In short after I type my login password on ubuntu I got following behavior: ---The login screen disappear, I can see the pointer of the mouse. After 3-5 s I am thrown back to the login screen. ---The login screen disappear, I can see the pointer of the text input. I remain stuck here forever. However, I can access console windows by typing Ctrl-Alt F4 ---The login happens normally (very rare, only 2 times). I do not know what environment I use for login, whether it is KDE/Gnome/ LXDE/Unity, etc. Most likely it is is Unity or gnome. It used to be possible to select the environment at runtime, but that is no longer possible. It is not a password problem, since I can login to the shell normally. Before this happened, I had in Ubuntu 17.10 some error messages saying that my the screen resolution was not available or something of this kind but I had the Xwindows environment anyway. I tried to resolve the issue on "askubuntu", see https://askubuntu.com/questions/1033535/cannot-login-with-upgraded-ubuntu-18-04 without success and Zanna recommended me to report the problem on launchpad. The problem happened with the latest version of the ubuntu, i.e. after the updates to gnome-session. The bug is a priori not related to X windows since I have the login screen. It is after the login screen that problems happen. The computer is Dell Inspiron-5767. I would be interested by ANY solution that allows me to work in graphic mode, be it LXDE or whatever, but I do not know how to change this from the command line. So far, I use tmux and screen and would like something better. Thank you very much in advance for any help, Mathieu PS1: Contact me on [email protected] PS2: The latest error is the content of the .xsession-errors as recorded from the text shell after Ctrl-Alt
