Help, I am stuck in a login loop with Ubuntu 18.04. I already checked the permissions/ownership of the .Xauthority .ICEauthority and /tmp folder. I tried setting to from lightdm to gdm3. I am still stuck in a login loop.



I also tried running startx using the terminal logged-in as the user but it just ends in a blank screen. What are the options that are possible for me and how can I diagnose this? I also tried looking at .xsession-errors which is just filled with setting environment variable message and no error message.
