I am running Mint18 Cinamond64, did and update yesterday (Nov 22), and since I cannot log in, I get and error /con/ubuntu/upstart connection refused (or similair) .
I tried to boot from the CD, work just fine, this is how I was able to contact the forum. Any one else has similar problemes?
still have over 120Gb free on HD, where should I start looking?
Thanks.
Jean.

Re: Cannot login after updates
Hello Jean, I moved your post because it doesn't seem to be an installation problem as such. Hope you can get some good help here!

If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

SOLVE Re: Cannot login after updates
this is the content of my .xession-errors:
initctl: Impossible de se connecter à Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connexion refusée
syndaemon: aucun processus trouvé
mdm[1552]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_free: assertion 'key_file != NULL' failed
I was suggested to do :
ALT+CRLR+F1
login
sudo apt-get install cinammon
sudo reboot
and that fix my problem.
