[Solved] Can't pass the lightdm login screen (user/pw are ok)

Hi,

when I boot/start my i386 laptop it boots to the lightdm login screen. When I enter my username and password and press enter it tries to load something for about 1 sec and then I get again the lightdm login screen 

I've also tried to disable lightdm and set "autologin-user=myusername" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, rebooted but it boots again into lightdm login screen.

(when I enter a wrong username or pw I get a red warning that password is not ok for example, so my username/pw entered is recogn. as correct but after 1sec it again loads the lightdm login again)

Did you recently upgrade? You may have over written your lightdm.conf, follow the steps below:

sudo  vi  /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.bunsen

find line 114, which reads  'session-setup-script=/usr/lib/bunsen/bunsen-configs/bl-user-setup'. Change it to:

session-setup-script=/usr/lib/bunsen/configs/bl-user-setup

Then press Ctrl+d to exit the terminal and Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to LightDM which should now accept your login.
(*) The reason LightDM will not login with the old config file is that it refers to a login script that no longer exists at that location.

ninja'd by HoaS of course!
