Re: [solved] locked out of x

So, let me get this straight:

You were using X
You were logged out after some time of inactivity
When you try to log in again you have a wrong password message?

Could it be that your disk is completely full so it can't write in Xsession?

Re: [solved] locked out of x

I am confused: the thread title says "locked out of x" but then you say:

now on ttyx using x with my account

So it's just LightDM that's not working then?

yes i use right  now x in another sesion ont tty.
from what i can read it might indeed be about a lightdm issue.
i dont understand it, or how to fix it :

Re: [solved] locked out of x

OK, slow down a bit and let's take things one step at a time.

When you start your computer, does it boot to the BunsenLabs graphical login screen (LightDM)?

If it does, what _exactly_ happens when you try to log in?

Can we please also see the output of:

/usr/sbin/lightdm --show-config

LightDM itself should have some logs (/var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log perhaps?) and also check ~/.xsession-errors & /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Re: [solved] locked out of x

Can we please also see the output of:

 /usr/sbin/lightdm --show-config

[SeatDefaults]
A  greeter-session=lightdm-greeter
A  greeter-hide-users=true
A  session-wrapper=/etc/X11/Xsession
B  session-setup-script=/usr/lib/bunsen/configs/bl-user-setup

Sources:
A  /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf
B  /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50_bunsen.conf
C  /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

LightDM itself should have some logs (/var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log perhaps?) and also check ~/.xsession-errors & /var/log/Xorg.0.log

nothing found in ~/.xsession-errors

x@debian:/var/log/xorg.0 lastlog nothing unusual apart from

x            tty5                      Mon Jan 22 22:20:54 +0100 2018

/var/log/Xorg.0.log not much i can tell personaly

thank you for the help

Re: [solved] locked out of x

it seems 'x' is your username.

this is very confusing; maybe you need to clarify a few things from your original post.

voids is the username, replaced it by x to hide it, which is i guess unecessary
sorry for the confusion, thanks for reading and trying to understant this problem i apparently could not state properly.

anyway, everything works again now, problem solved

thanks Head_on_a_Stick your help, sorry for the lame way of responding to questions.
lightdm was working, i was asked nick and password in the rectangle, but always got something like "invalid password try again" in red (i tried enough to know the password was the right one).

if i knew what to look for in the logs to pinpoint the issue i would.
