I reinstalled gnome-power-manager, upower and indicator-power in order to fix battery indicator issues. Now when I try to login, the screen turns black and sends me back to the login screen.

Following doesn't work for me:

  • Already tried to login with gdm.
  • Removing ~/.Xauthority didn't work either.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit, and don't know what else I can try.

  • I tried apt-get clean and apt-get autoclean and now get Failed to load session "ubuntu" after login. Console is still working.

  • I was able to login again after apt-get install unity-2d and apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. Then to make unity start again I ran setsid unity. But now the system icon on the right top is missing.
