I have Ubuntu 12.04.1.
Last time I did nothing especial, but suddenly some problem appear:
I have a login screen (using lightdm), when I attempt a login, I get a console session and returned to the login screen. I have same problem isif I try guest session"Guest session".
I see that it is a known issue, so I tried everything from following steps:
I succeed to to login with my account in console mode (ctrl+alt+f1)
I checked, and I don't have problem with disk space
I removed .XAuthority
I configured to use gdm
I reinstalled lightdm
I included my user to nopasswdlogin group
But nothing help...
So, these are errors from /var/log/auth.log in this step:
Oct 3 01:11:48 alphabet-2 lightdm: pam_unix(lightdm:session): session opened for user lightdm by (uid=0)
Oct 3 01:11:48 alphabet-2 lightdm: pam_ck_connector(lightdm:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0
Oct 3 01:11:48 alphabet-2 lightdm: pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "andrey"
Oct 3 01:11:48 alphabet-2 dbus[704]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.35" (uid=104 pid=1709 comm="/usr/lib/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-ser") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member="GetAll" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.14" (uid=0 pid=1169 comm="/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon ")
After I reconfigure lightdm new .Xauthority file appear with root as owner, I put my user as owner and gave 777 permissions. The result is: when I try login, lightdm hangs on login process, it just stop and don't do nothing, I even can't press on screen buttons or change password, it just hangs up.
GDM also hangs up.
And these are errors after I get permissions for .Xauthority:
Oct 3 01:11:48 alphabet-2 lightdm: pam_unix(lightdm:session): session opened for user lightdm by (uid=0)
Oct 3 01:11:48 alphabet-2 lightdm: pam_ck_connector(lightdm:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0
Oct 3 01:11:48 alphabet-2 lightdm: pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "andrey"
Any ideas?
