[Bug 1513699] [NEW] Light DM creates login loop

 

Public bug reported:

After updating Ubuntu, I restarted the computer. The Light DM Display
screen came up.  I thought nothing of it until I tried logging in.
Instead of logging in, it would go black for a second and bring me to
the login page again.  I've tried all sorts of commands from online
Ubuntu support groups. Nothing has worked. My laptop is 5 yrs old, so I
don't know if it's telling me it's dead.
