Check permissions on '~.Xauthority' file maybe (think it should be gene:gene). Maybe that file is 'stale' (whatever that might mean). Maybe you could move it out of the way and see if you can log in then. curty@einstein:~$ ls -l .Xauthority -rw------- 1 curty curty 102 Aug 3 09:17 .Xauthority I'm a lightdm user myself. You might also try 'dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' (which might overwrite a corrupted config with something fresh). Stabs in the dark. You enter username/password and it says: "Incorrect password.
