Tell me more ×  Our family has three user account in /home. I
have just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and two of the three log-in to
xorg OK but the third just cycles back to the log-in screen
(gdm?) Mine, of course :(  Is there a log file I can s\check to
find out why the third user account is cycling back to the
beginning? I can log-in fine to a virtual terminal, it's just
xorg that is the problem, so I presume it is something in my
home directory that should be deleted.   share|improve this

complete deletion/modifications an recreation.  Please press
Ctrl+Alt+F1 -> login with the "problem (3rd)" user.  On command
prompt: chown -R $USER /home/$USER  Then press Ctrl+Alt+F7 and
try to login with user again.  share|improve this answer add
