When I try to log on, the screen gets black for a second and returns to the login screen.

Other users work, only mine is affected.

I try to attach ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/lightdm/

I changed ownership of ~/.Xauthority from root to me and now I can log on.

Thus this bug is a dupe of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/871667 and can be closed.
