Bug Description
On 8/13/2012 I updated ubuntu 12.10. Now when I try to log in the system flashes a black screen and then puts me back at the log in screen. Logging in as guest works. I tried adding a new user and cannot log in with that user either.
I switched to gdm and logging in works fine.

I found this post http:// askubuntu. com/questions/ 65852/cannot- login-to- my-user- account which suggested removing ~/.Xauthority file. I did this and was able to log in without problem.
