Hi,

I'm currently running xubuntu on virtual box from a windows 8.1 machine.

I havent logged on for a while so naturally the upgrade prompt came on when I logged in. I perform the upgrade and it ask me to restart.

once i have restarted the machine i was not able to log in. I know my password is correct because i can still login via tty.

I was reading up on this issue and people saying its an .Xauthority issue. I followed one of the comments and removed the file. However that did not solve the problem and i am now completely stuck and dont know how to resolve the issue.

If anyone experienced similar issue can you please help.

I am fairly new to xubuntu.

Thank you in advanced.
