One way is to save the contents in some files using these commands:

cat /home/abby/.xsession-errors > /var/tmp/errors.txt

cat /home/abby/.xsession-errors.old > /var/tmp/errors.old.txt

sudo cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log > /var/tmp/lightdm.log.txt

Then start a guest session and do it from there.

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.
