[Bug 871112] Re: created a new user account and cannot log in to unity 3d anymore

 

Thank you for your bug report. Do you have an .Xauthority file in your
user directory? Does moving it away fixes the issue? Could you add your
/var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log to the bug and your .xsession-errors after
a failed login?

** Package changed: gnome-session (Ubuntu) => lightdm (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High

** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu)

Title:
  created a new user account and cannot log in to unity 3d anymore

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I created a new user account in the normal, GUI way.

  I then attempted to log into this user account, but it didn't work.  I
  got a terminal sort of screen briefly (the one you get if you hit F6
  during bootup) and then it just went back to the log in screen.

  I attempted to log in with my account, and it did log in, but Unity
  did not load.  I just had my wallpaper, with a "File Edit View" etc
  bar at the top.

  I could open a terminal with ctrl+alt+T to fire up ubuntu-bug and
  chrome to file this bug.

  Logging into Ubuntu 2d seems to work but not a normal "Ubuntu"
  session.
