I was updating login in Mint14, but it failed. Now I can't login, with the message "Your session lasted less than 10 seconds..".
Thanks

Re: Unable to Login after update
This sometimes happens when the file ~/.dmrc has become corrupted. Next time you get to the login window DO NOT login, just hit Ctl/Alt/F1 then login to the command prompt as user - root, password - your sudo password.
Now run the following command:
You obviously have to substitute your real username there. The file you have just deleted will be regenerated next login .
Then run
This will reboot. Now try and login by the usual login window.
Now run the following command:
Code: Select all
rm /home/yourusername/.dmrc
Then run
Code: Select all
shutdown -r now
