Stuck on login screen / login loop

Im stuck on the login screen, i enter my username and password and the it goes to a blank terminal for a second and then goes right back to the login screen.
I searched if someone had the same problem in the past and only Ubuntu users did, i tried making a new account but it still won't login on the gui but it logs in fine on the tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1) even on my original account.
I wold like to access my original account if possible if not at least a working one.
Im using: BunsenLabs GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.16.0
Thanks in advance.

Re: Stuck on login screen / login loop

Meanwhile, you could try ctrl+alt+F2 login at a tty, and startx manually, I've had a situation where this happens if for any reason if for any reason bl-user-setup exits with a non 0 status.

Re: Stuck on login screen / login loop

I tried startx manually and the Xkeyboard keymap compiler reports: cannot close "/tmp/server-1.xkm" properly (not enough space?)

Does this mean that i just need to delete some big files? If yes i dont really know how to do it in a terminal.
Help with that wold be much appreciated.
        Update
I managed to delete some files but it still doesn't let me login by gui so i try to startx manually and now i get this:
Log files: "/var/log/Xorg.1.log", Time: (current time)
Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.1.log" for additional information.

Re: Stuck on login screen / login loop

Have you tried this solution:

https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 734#p24734

Also, did you try to use `sudo startx`?

This should never be used and the "Connection refused" message may be caused by that.

If so, use this command:

sudo rm ~/.Xauthority*

Re: Stuck on login screen / login loop

I guess it fixed itself, a couple of days later i tried typing startx and it just worked.
Thanks a lot everyone
