@Gunnar:

Thanks kindly for the reply, looks like a bit before you posted here,
Manfred H on "answers" offered what might be a similar suggestion . . .
since he has patiently been working with me for awhile on this problem I
tried it first, and it seems to have fixed the problem . . . I'm typing
this back in my original user account.

"Try logging in as the new user and issue the terminal command

sudo chown -R fritzhud:fritzhud /home/fritzhud/.gvfs
sudo chown fritzhud:fritzhud /home/fritzhud/.Xauthority
sudo chown fritzhud:fritzhud /home/fritzhud/.hcwd

and then try loggin in as fritzhud again."

Now I'll be moving on to seeing if "suspend" can be fixed for PPC 14.04

Title:
  Cannot open my session graphically in Lu 14.04 PPC

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am having a problem on my iBook G4 running Lu 14.04.1 . . . after
  running a recent update/upgrade with only 3 or 4 items listed, "dbus"
  was one I remember . . . screen went black . . . tried to do something
  in TTY console to "restart" . . . then wound up shutting down. On
  reboot the lightdm window loads, when I add my user password, the
  screen goes black, then the lightdm window loads again . . . . Using
  "guest" to log in gets me into a GUI that works . . . but I can't log
  in as the original admin/user.

  Booted into "recovery" and ran through the dpkg & fsck & network
  enabling . . . a few times, there were numerous errors that showed up
  . . . the user login problem was not fixed . . . .

  Pursuing this issue on the launchpad "questions" forum has given me
  some things to try out, including creating a new user, which I can log
  into and "sudo" with . . . the original user will not log into GUI,
  only a TTY.  I would like to be able to use the original admin user
  account, as the default account.
