I am on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
I have been unable to login to the desktop through the desktop prompt using lightdm. If I switch it to gdm3 using sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
I can login to ubuntu, but not xfce or xubuntu.
Once in ubuntu desktop, I cannot use any app that wants to authenticate. Example when running Synaptic, I get a window titled Athentication Required. It only asks for password, I enter password for the the user logged in and it says Sorry that didn't work. From terminal, I can start synaptic using same password.
