[Bug 870052] Re: User cannot login with lightdm. Drops back at login prompt after entering credentials

 

I have the same problem. I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and now I can't
log on with my user. It doesn't matter if I choose "Ubuntu", "Ubuntu 2d"
or "XFCE". Screen turns black for a second and returns to log on screen.

Other users still work though.

I attached ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/lightdm/
