  • I am afraid we are going to have to close this as a bug and tell you to file a bug report. – don.joey Apr 18 '14 at 09:36

After looking for different alternatives, I finally found the solution. Try this, it worked for me: http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/10/how-to-fix-login-issues-on-ubuntu-1110.html

  1. At login screen, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to console mode.

  2. Use your username and password to login.

  3. Enter now these commands:

    ls -Shla | grep “Xauthority”

    sudo mv .Xauthority Xauthority.old

    sudo shutdown -r now

  • It is better to summarize the important points than to just provide a link, as that link may not always be available. – jkt123 Apr 21 '14 at 12:21
