Can't log in to desktop

  • 772

I can't log in to my Ubuntu 16.04 desktop any more. Other accounts show no login problems. I can, however, login to the same account from the terminal (ctrl-alt-f6) or ssh. I can also log in as root to the desktop. I have checked and reset the password, rebooted etc. but to no avail. What can I do? H

Thanks I have 11 GB in my home directory and I am using the right keyboard input language and CapsLk is off but still no login. H

  1. I did the following: 1) backup the files in my home directory 2) delete my user 3) add same new user 4) restore files to my home directory Why login now works is, however, a mystery
