Bug Description
Symptoms:
- I cannot login to the graphical session neither using lightdm not lxdm
- After typing password and hitting enter the login screen disappears and reappears after 4-5 seconds
- Login as guest does not work as well
- Worked before, I am not aware of having done anything special
- Login on console works
- Tried several hints, like those from http://
- not a permission problem with .Xauthority, .ICEauthority, /tmp
- not a graphics driver issue
- sudo pam-auth-update --force did not help
According to lightdm.log, authentication succeeds and it stops greeter and starts gnome-session, which seems to fail with:
CRITICAL: session_
in ~/.xsession-errors I get:
openConnection: connect: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
cannot connect to brltty at :0
upstart: gnome-session (GNOME)
upstart: logrotate-
upstart: bamfdaemon-
upstart: Vom benachrichtigten D-Bus-Bus getrennt
Moved this to gnome-session, where I intended to post it.
