When I enter my password and press enter, it processes for a while and then loops me right back to the account login screen again. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

I've tried using the advice on this thread but nothing worked. After trying the steps outlined on this response on the thread, I ended up with the lubuntu login screen and don't know how to get out of it.

I appreciate any help. Thx.

Installing guest additions solved the same issue for me. You have to do it through terminal.

  1. In the "Devices" menu click "Insert Guest Additions CD image" .
  2. Hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 or Right Ctrl+F1 to open a virtual terminal. Then login with username and password.

  3. Mount the guest additions cd and install the thing:

    mkdir /tmp/cd
sudo mount /dev/sr0 /tmp/cd
sudo /tmp/cd/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

  4. After it is done, restart the virtual machine and it should work:

    sudo reboot
user.dz

In my case, it was a PATH problem.

I've changed PATH value in /etc/environment and mistakenly I've overridden the default value. thus the solution was to log into the system in Cli mode (right cltrl+f1 or f3) then restore the original PATH value

In my case, what worked was enabling Virtualization on my host computer's BIOS.

After that it all worked.

Hope this helps
