I am unable to login after an update [duplicate]

  • 772

10th of June i've made an update and now I'm no more able to login. Unfortunately I don't know wat was included in this update. My PC looks like logging in, but, after a few seconds, it comes back to the login screen and ask me again and again the password (or to select another account).

  1. Try this for me:

    When you boot up, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and attempt to log on using your local account, and see if that works.

    If it does work, it may be that your password is somehow out of sync with the window manager that you're using, as seems to be the case in this question. Try doing the following, if you can log in:

    sudo -i
[Enter your password]
passwd usr

    Where usr is your username. Then, it should ask you for a new password, enter it in. Once you've done that type

    reboot

    And try to log back in once it's back to the screen.

    If this doesn't work, please provide us this information:

    1. Version of ubuntu (and flavor (e.g. xubuntu, kubuntu, etc))
    2. What window manager you're using, if not the default for your flavor
    3. If you're using compiz
