I recently did an update on a Ubuntu 14.04.1 running in a vmplayer and after the update I can't do a graphically login. Login using terminal it's ok ctrl-alt-F1 Google give some hits about deleting / permissions with ~./Xautorithy file but no success.

Any clues?

Thanks!

What do you mean you can't do a graphically login? Is there a GUI at all? What happens?

If you still have the /.Xauthority instead of deleting have you tried to sudo chown yourusername:yourusername .Xauthority and logging in/restarting?

  • .Xauthority has joao:joao (my user in this case). I've a GUI to login , I did a video , here you can see it youtube.com/watch?v=cpC470g1ZSI

  • Hm, not sure. I'd also check to make sure the permissions look something like this -rw------- as these seem to be the default. If you can login as the guest though then we would know that the problem has to deal with the user settings.

  • Other possible commands you could run in a tty terminal would be "xauth list", "ps x | grep X11" and looking for odd behaviour/output. Generating a new .Xauthority is the only other thing I could think of, anything else would be beyond my scope of knowledge.

  • I did some tests and this seems to be related to the Nvidia graphics...
