Suddenly I am unable to log in into one of my user (user1) accounts, it is blinking after booting although for other user accounts I am able to log-in properly. My /home/user1 directory is 70% full. I am able to log-in through terminal to the user account user1. How to solve this problem ? URGENT

  • What did you do that might have caused this error? Did you change keyboards, or keyboard lay-out? What was the last time you succesfully logged in with this user?

If it logs in to another account, then turn off 'Automatic Login.' This should take you to the Login Screen every time.

To do it, go to: System Settings -> User Accounts. Click on the user that is logged in at boot and turn off the automatic login feature. Note: It may ask for a Admin password if you are on a 'Standard User' account.

Hope this helps!

  • I want to access user1 account through GUI. How turning off "Automatic Login" will help ? In the list of user accounts "user1" is not shown. I tried to log-in through "other" providing username as "user1" and password of user1, but same problem
