After updating to 19.04 I have a login loop on the existing account. I created a new account and it works without an problems. How can I repair the other account so that the login to GUI will work again?

This is by no means the only possible fix but after lots of googling I came across the suggestion that the profile was somehow corrupted. The fix was to

  1. cd .local/share
  2. Move gnome-shell to gnome-shell-old.
  3. Restart laptop and login to messed up account.

In my case that fix worked (a new gnome-shell was created) so I deleted gnome-shell-old.

I apologize for not providing a link. I found this earlier in the day using my tablet.
