I'm getting the infinite log in loop on Ubuntu for just one of my user accounts - I've tried all of the recommended solutions (modifying .Xauthority, /temp/ and using lightdm)

Strangely when I ctrl+shift+f3 and login to the problem account - my working directory is "/" rather than "/home/username/"

Incase it is relevant, my the permissions for the problem account are dr-------- 31 usrnm usrnm ...

Does anybody know how I can fix or troubleshoot?

Thanks for any help!

(Solution with thanks to muru)

The problem was with the permissions for /home/usrnm/. I fixed it by logging into the problem account by Ctrl+Shift+F3 and then running sudo chmod a+rwx /home/usrnm/
