You might want to try to login with a different "session", cilck on the small "cog/wheel" icon after having entered your username. It might be that the cinnamon session or whatever you are using by default is broken. In that case, you should look into logs to find out why the session is exiting immediately. |

I have cinnamon, gnome and gnome clasic. |

If the password is wrong, the screen shakes and you have a red error message. So the session probably tries to start, but fails for some reasons. Thus you have to look into your logs to find out the reason of the failure... have a look at the output of "journalctl", etc. |

As I said, user, password and user again, wrong password does not prompt you to enter user again but it asks you to reenter the password again, it's not that anyway. Had a look in journalclt but it's A LOT of info, about 1000 lines per second � and not sure at the specific time the error accrued so don't know what to sort by ... Anyway, do you have any other fix for this issue ? |

If you are not able to find out the messages that are added the logs at the time you typed "enter" in your login screen, then we can't provide a fix since we don't know what's the problem. Nobody else reported such a problem so far. It's not too hard to open a root shell with "journalctl -f | less", then go back to your login screen, do the login test, go back to the shell and look at the new lines that appeared... possibly take a screenshot of the suspicious messages. |

Managed to delete the user and add a new one with same name and now works. Can I still find the error report even if the user has been deleted ? I want to post it so someone can have a look and possibly provide a fix if the issue will pop up to someone else in the future. If possible I'll have a look later when I get home. |

Couldn't find the issue using "journalctl -f | less" but fixed anyway by a new user creation. Thanks for the help :-) Topic can be marked as solved. |
