I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 and it went fine. After restart, when I try to log in from my root user it shows a command screen in a split second and then returns back to the log in screen which shows all users. I have even tried to test logging in with other users and it is working fine.

I guess there is some problem with home folder of my user or something. Kindly help me out otherwise my only hope is to make a fresh install from a CD which I am avoiding.

Thanks in advance.

This solution originally by actionparsnip worked for me:

Press CTRL+ALT+F1

Log in with you user name and password

Run the following command: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME

Press CTRL+ALT+F7
Try to log in
