I have 12.04 on my machine, and after a shut down and a restart I haven't been able to log into the GUI, after entering my password, it switches back to the GUI and does not accept it.

I've tried the following:

  • Ctrl+Alt+F1, login via tty1 - worked fine, so the password and user works
  • tried to remove the .Xauthority file - does not exist
  • tried to restart the lightdm - no change, still cannot log in
  • tried to install the gdm, but no apt-get command works, it fails to connect to the required web address
  • tried the sudo chown -R $user:$user /home command, still cannot log in

Do you have any suggestions what can I do?
