I meant that you would copy the output from those commands, and post it
here.

Since you apparently are logged in as root, you need a slightly
different command for .xsession-errors. If your username is abby, it
would be:

cat /home/abby/.xsession-errors

and probably also

cat /home/abby/.xsession-errors.old

Please note that you need to do this instantly after a failed attempt to
log in as your user.

Title:
  Returned to the greeter screen when logging in.

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  If I log in as Guest or root, I can get into the account.  However, if
  I use my normal user account, I just get returned to the login screen.
  If I use gdm as my desktop manager, I can get to my user account.
