    Unhappy Lightdm dosn't let me login

    I have been using Ubuntu Gnome(shell) 14.04 for quite some time, and decided to install Xubuntu-Desktop so that I can try out how Xfce is faring in Ubuntu.

    I installed Xubuntu-desktop and chose lightdm as the login manager. After the installtion was over, I restarted the computer and when the Login Manager (lightdm) showed up and typed my password, it didn't let me login. I tried to login to Xfce (Xubuntu), Xfce, Gnome, Gnome Classic to no vail. Everytime I login it throws me back to lightdm again.

    What could I do to fix this?


    Thank you in advance guys ^_^

    Thumbs up Re: Lightdm dosn't let me login

    Hello everyone. Just wanted to inform you that I was able to solve the problem by removing the files .Xauthority from my home directory. I backed up the files just in case, but I'm glad it worked.

    Code:
    rm /home/<user>/.Xauthority

    The solution was found here.
