Log on Problems

Postby Mittens on Sat Feb 23, 2013 8:25 pm

I am unable to log on to my computer. I currently have it set it up so that it just auto logs on when I power it up, but if I log out and try to log back on it doesn't work; it goes half way through the log on process but then it just loops back to the log in screen. It was working normally with just my SSD hard drive but when I connected a traditional hard drive in addition to the SSD, and that's when the log in stopped working. The computer is completely usable the way I have it set up, but there is clearly something wrong. I appreciate any help that you could give. Thanks.

Sounds like an XAuthority issue. Take a look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/223501/u ... login-loop
