Comment 54 for bug 184957

Not sure about why you wouldn't be able to login, but if it's something
that's been fixed in an upgrade you can hit ctl-alt-F1 to go into a
"VTTY". From there you should be able to login, and type

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

to get any package upgrades that might fix your problem...

Beyond that, I don't know... perhaps your /home/ directory isn't
mounted? Can you tell it to log you into a "safe" session? Perhaps one
of your configuration files are broken.
