[Bug 1513699] Re: Light DM creates login loop

 

The log shows you are logging into your session, but it quits after 10
second. Can you try this and then look at the contents of ~/.xsession-
errors after this occurs?

Title:
  Light DM creates login loop

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
