Login fails on Ubuntu 18.04 with

  • 772

I had Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 installed with an encrypted /home.

I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 and everything goes well however when I try to login I get a black screen**. After a a minute or so it is back to the login screen.

I tried both the regular and the minimal installations.

Logging in with a tty works however It seems the encrypted /home is not accessible (ls shows a file related to Private; I do not recall the filename; I reinstalled Ubuntu Gnome 16.04).

What might be going on?

** I tried nomodeset; no difference

  1. I solved a very similar problem by running (as user):

    chmod 777 ~/.ICEauthority 
sudo dpkg --configure -a
