I have a problem that i never seen before. I upgraded my Ubuntu 12.04 64bit to 14.04 using the following command:
$ sudo update-manager -d
After that I can't login to my user account, when I log it just flashes and then it goes back to the login screen, but the odd thing is that I can log in with the guest account.
I tried to create another account but couldn't log to that account either.
FYI I don't have any graphic cards like NVIDIA or AMD.
What worked for the original poster was: recursively correcting the permissions of their home directory.
sudo chmod -R ug+rwx /home/[username]
To be more specific, the problem is with the .Xauthority in your home folder. You simply need to change its permissions to yourself or, as it was in my case, it was owned by root, so I needed to change the owner to my user. This way you don't need to change the permissions for every file in your home folder.
