Linux Mint 19 - Looping of login screen
Problem:
After the login, the screen gets black, and then you get the login screen again.
My solution:
Press [ctrl][alt][F3] to jump to a terminal
Login with your credentials
Digit ls -lha and take note of permission of .Xautority
Note that the permission is like this:
-rw------- 1 root root 53 Jul 02 20:19 .Xauthority
Digit chown myuser:myuser .Xauthority (where myuser is your user name)
Now the permission is changed like the following:
-rw------- 1 myuser myuser 53 Jul 02 20:19 .Xauthority
Press [ctrl][alt][F7] to jump to the graphical login screen
Try to login.
