Ubuntu installed some updates, and after the restart, I cannot log in. It seems to accept, but then beeps and returns to the login screen. All of the users, including guest do the same thing.

I was looking at some other posts here, and tried some of the suggestions without success. I looked at the .xsession-errors file but I don't understand the error:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  155 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)

  Serial number of failed request:  34
  Current serial number in output stream:  35

Set appropriate ownership to .Xauthority and .ICEauthority.

chown username:username .Xauthority
chown username:username .ICEauthority

Set permission for /tmp

sudo chmod a+wt /tmp

Restart lightdm

dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
sudo service lightdm restart

Reboot and login, this should fix your problem, if not then remove incompatible graphics driver:

For Nvidia:

sudo nvidia-settings --uninstall 
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

For amd:

sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
