[Bug 1228570] Re: Login often fails

 

I've got the same problem in Ubuntu 13.04. After login, I get a blank
screen for about a second, then it goes back to lightdm. Removing either
.ICEauthority or .Xauthority solves the problem. The problem reappears
(to me) seemingly random, so not necessarily after each successful
login.

Title:
  Login often fails

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am using the Lenovo Thinkpad Twist with Saucy and the standard Unity
  desktop. Often when I log in, after entering the password the screen
  gets black and within one second I am back in LightDM. I have to enter
  my password three or four times until getting a successful login.
  Logging in right after reboot works more often. Logging into the guest
  account always works.

  There are no messages in .xsession-errors. /var/log/syslog adds the
  following lines after pressing Enter after entering the password until
  LightDM re-appearing:
