That sounds like a very old problem.  I encountered that, many years
ago, when I swapped hard drives on a PC.  Check the permissions of
your /tmp directory, the sticky bit needs to be set.

$ ll -d /tmp
drwxrwxrwt. 24 root root 12288 Aug  9 02:15 /tmp

Without that, graphical logins would fail.  But command line logins
would work, as they didn't play around with putting things in /tmp.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
